Inflammatory potential of gut microbiota from monozygotic twin pair discordant for ulcerative colitis
2022-03-18
Abstract excerpt
Gut microbiota perturbations are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), but it is unclear whether this is a result of the disease or a contributing factor. In twin pairs discordant for IBD, the healthy co-twin is at an increased risk of IBD and has a gut microbiota more similar to IBD patients than healthy individuals.
