| Abstract: | Introduction: Osteoporosis is common in Crohn’s disease patients. Autophagy genes have so far never being studied as potential risk factors for osteoporosis in Crohn's disease. Methods: We have analysed the risk for osteoporosis among Crohn’s disease patients expressing the rs2241880 polymorphism of the ATG16L1 gene. Patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disase through histological, radiological and endoscopic findings were recruited. A blood sample for genotyping was taken and a DEXA Bone Density scan was performed in each patient. [Excerpt] |
