Abstract
⺠Large-scale analyses demonstrated significant genetic associations only in subgroups of patients. ⺠Genetic heritability is the proportion of observable differences in a phenotype that is due to genetic differences. ⺠Environmental factors may induce the breakdown of tolerance in genetically susceptible individuals. ⺠Stochastic events may well underlie some of the proposed causative links.
