Five bucks says this will be more useful than for just IBD.

From the abstract: "By investigating an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22—which has been independently linked to inflammatory bowel disease, ankylosing spondylitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and Takayasu’s arteritis3,4,5,6—we identify that the causal gene, ETS2, is a central regulator of human inflammatory macrophages and delineate the shared disease mechanism that amplifies ETS2 expression. "

I guess you owe me five bucks.

What? I put money that it'd be useful for MORE than IBD. You bring evidence of what I was putting money on.

Ankilosi spondylitis is quite different than IBD.

This is exactly why I'm not a gambler. ;-) I really prefer it when people say things like, "wow, thanks, here have a fiver."
