Association Study of 71 European Crohnʼs Disease Susceptibility Loci in a Japanese Population
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A large-scale meta-analysis of a series of European genome-wide association studies revealed 71 susceptibility loci for Crohn's disease (CD). However, it is not clear whether these susceptibility loci are also shared with Japanese populations. METHODS: We genotyped 71 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) comprising 1311 CD cases and 6585 controls of Japanese descent, and their associations with CD were evaluated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. In addition, genotype-phenotype analyses were conducted on the SNPs showing associations with Japanese CD based on the Montreal classification. RESULTS: Twenty-seven SNPs showed at least nominal association (P < 0.05) and 11 of them remained significant even after Bonferroni correction (P < 0.0007). Despite high statistical power, we could not find any association in 17 loci. Moreover, SNPs in 9 loci were rare or absent in the Japanese population. Genetic variations involved in the innate immune system (NOD2, ATG16L1, and IRGM) showed no association with CD susceptibility in the Japanese population. Genotype-phenotype analyses showed that rs3810936, a marker of TNFSF15, correlated with severe CD phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that there is a differential genetic background of CD susceptibility between Japanese and European populations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
