Role of genetic and environmental factors in British twins with inflammatory bowel disease

6 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Twin studies provide insight into the complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We assessed associations between childhood environmental factors and development of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in twins. METHODS: Questionnaires on clinical demographics and exposure to environmental factors were sent to twins...
