Crohn's Disease

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the body’s immune system overreacts, causing inflammation of the intestine.

Ibd
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 0.77. This corresponds to a 0.38% lifetime risk of developing crohn's disease, which is 23% less than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 38 of every 10000 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
Ibd
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 50 of every 10000 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
