*

Familial risk of incident IBD with same subtype of affected FDR (e.g. risk of UC with UC affected FDR)

**

adjusted for age, sex, calendar periods, maternal and paternal age at birth

N – number of individuals, CD - Crohn’s disease, CI – confidence interval, FDR – first degree relatives, IRR – incidence risk ratio, IBD – inflammatory bowel disease, UC - ulcerative colitis.
