Genetic Defects in Early-Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Abstract excerpt

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a spectrum of disease, which is characterized by chronic gastrointestinal inflammation. Monogenic mutations driving IBD pathogenesis are more highly represented in early-onset compared to adult-onset disease. The pathogenic genes which dysregulate host immune responses in monogenic IBD affect both the innate (ie, intestinal barrier, phagocytes) and adaptive immune...
