ABSTRACT:
A novel association between IBD and a polymorphism at amino acid residue 241 of ICAM-1 has been discovered. In accordance with the present invention there is provided methods of screening for IBD, methods for treating IBD, antibodies specifically reactive wish ICAM-1 encoded by R241 allele and kits which exploit the inventive methods.
