Everts (2000) suggested a major gene model for fragmented coronoid process, which is one form of a growth disorder in the elbow joint, but approximately 80 % of the dog genome was excluded as a candidate region in a search of markers, under a hypothesis of a recessive inheritance.

To build upon the encouraging early discoveries, Helmsley renewed and expanded its Crohn's funding for the Institute in 2013 to begin new work with three major aims: 1) continue studies of individual genes to determine how genetic differences between Crohn's patients and healthy individuals contribute to the disease; 2) evaluate promising small molecules in disease - relevant studies and prioritize insights from genetics to help develop novel therapeutics; and 3) begin basic experimentation in animal models with Crohn's disease to provide the data necessary to begin testing new therapies in humans.
