Review article: genetic susceptibility and application of genetic testing in clinical management of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract excerpt

The volume of research undertaken on the genetic susceptibility of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been tremendous, and over 10 chromosomal regions have been identified by genome-wide scanning. Fine-mapping approaches and candidate gene studies have already led to the identification of several susceptibility genes, including CARD15 (NOD2), DLG5, novel organic cation transporter (OCTN) 1 and 2, and CARD4...
