Reviewer's report
Title:MDR1 polymorphisms are associated with inflammatory bowel disease in a
cohort of Croatian IBD patients
Version: 2Date:17 January 2013
Reviewer: Alfreda Krupoves
Reviewer's report:
The authors carried out a case-control genetic association study in adult IBD
patient’s population. This paper is an interesting addition to the body of research
on this topic.
Please find below some additional comments.
Although the type of controls is indicated now, it still not clear how they were
approached. It should be clarified whether they were selected from hospital lists
or from general population.
Please ensure that tables are cited correspondingly to their content
systematically. For instance, in results section when alleles’ frequencies are
reported, it appears that reference should be made to table 4, instead of table 3,
which is currently used.
All tables in the manuscript should be cited in the text, currently table 5 does not
appear to be mentioned in results section.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
