The characteristics of different study designs and methodology of IBD genetic studies. Familial studies represent a past approach that identified a few specific targets (e.g. NOD2). Currently GWAS with fine mapping are able to identify greater number of loci; however, not all of these loci have defined gene targets. Currently whole exome and whole genome sequencing have the potential to specifically defined more genetic targets.
