Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Monogenic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises rare Mendelian causes of gut inflammation, often presenting in infants with severe and atypical disease. This study aimed to identify clinically relevant variants within 68 monogenic IBD genes in an unselected pediatric IBD cohort. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed on patients with pediatric-onset disease. Variants fulfilling the...
