Epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in a German twin cohort: Results of a nationwide study

5 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic predisposition as a cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been proven by both family and twin studies and genetic variants associated with the disease have been identified. The aim of our study was to determine the concordance rates for IBD in German twin pairs and to evaluate clinical characteristics of concordant and discordant twin pairs. METHODS: Patients with IBD were asked to...
