Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The contribution of hereditary factors to the development of diverticular disease (DD) of the colon is unknown. Prevalence and location of diverticula differ in Western world compared to in Asia and several case reports describing families with DD have been published. AIM: To assess the heritability of DD in a large population-based sample of twins. METHODS: The Swedish Twin Registry was cross-linked...
