Crohn's disease in West Indians.
An epidemiological survey in the City of Derby from 1976 to 1985 indicated that there was no significant difference in the incidence of Crohn's disease in West Indians (4.5-5.6/10(5)/yr) and the caucasian population (7.0/10(5)/yr). These results indicate that West Indians are not genetically protected against the development of Crohn's disease.
