New genes found in Crohn’s disease, serious eye ailment
A decade ago, finding genes that contribute to human diseases was labor-intensive, time-consuming and prohibitively expensive. But today, cutting-edge research tools are changing all that, and two School of Medicine researchers are at the forefront of the revolution. Last month, in the journal Science, Josephine J. Hoh, Ph.D., associate professor of epidemiology and ophthalmology, and Judy H. Cho, M.D., associate professor of medicine, reported that their research teams had homed in on genes
