Abstract excerpt
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and both, IBD risk and microbiome composition, have been found to be associated with genetic variation. Using data from families of IBD patients, we examined the association between genetic and microbiome similarity in a specific IBD context, followed by a genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis of various...
