Interrelatedness between dysbiosis in the gut microbiota due to immunodeficiency and disease penetrance of colitis

Abstract excerpt

The composition of the microbiome in health and disease has only recently become a major research focus. Although it is clear that an imbalance or dysbiosis in the microbiota is associated with disease, its interrelatedness to disease penetrance is largely unknown. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an excellent disease in which to explore these questions because of the extensive genetic studies identifying...
