IL23R and inflammatory bowel disease: For all SNPs except rs7517847, patients with risk-increasing IL23R variants had higher DMBT1 expression when carrying the minor allele (OR>1 and relative DMBT1 expression minor allele vs WT>1), while in patients with IBD risk-decreasing IL23R variants, DMBT1 expression was lower in minor allele carriers compared to WT carriers (OR<1 and relative expression minor vs. WT<1; table 3, Fig. 3A).
