Article Synopsis
- * A study of 402 Brazilian CD patients analyzed genetic polymorphisms in genes related to CD and its progression to determine associations with CARD severity, using logistic regression to adjust for factors like age and treatment.
- * Although some genetic variants suggested potential links to CARD severity, no strong associations were confirmed after adjusting for multiple comparisons, while a specific haplotype showed protective effects against severe CARD progression.
