The FUT2 loss-of-function mutations are highly prevalent and are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate the impact of FUT2 loss-of-function mutation on the gut microbiota in patients with IBD, 81 endoscopically confirmed IBD patients were genotyped and divided into 3 groups: homozygous for functional FUT2 genes (SeSe), with one copy of non-functional FUT2 gene (Sese), or homozygous for...
