Genetic Predisposition and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract

Published reports demonstrated finding of different susceptible mutant alleles in association with inflammatory bowel disease (CD/UC) in diseased individuals from different populations. It was then assumed that the existence of different associated mutant alleles in subjects with inflammatory bowel disease from different populations means different diseases. Whether this assumption is correct or false, this is the question that we are going to investigate.
