Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) arises from complex interactions among genetic susceptibility, immune dysregulation, the intestinal microbiota and environmental factors. Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) regulates mucosal α1,2-fucosylation and the expression of histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), thereby shaping host-microbe interactions at the intestinal surface. Loss-of-function FUT2 variants define the non-secretor...
