Welcome once more to ItexMall Health and Fitness, where you can enjoy reading another fascinating snippet of Health news right here:
An investigation has found that celiac disease and Crohn’s disease, both inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, share at least four genetic risk loci. Researchers performed a combined meta-analysis of genome-wide data for celiac disease and Crohn’s disease. This meta-analysis has identified two new shared risk loci and two shared risk loci that had previously been independently identified for each disease.
