New research has just been published on the influence of genes as perhaps a reason for a colitis diagnosis.
“People with painful, chronic bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis could see a glimmer of hope from new research.
Scientists say they’ve spotted a genetic flaw that could drive a rare childhood form of colitis, and the finding might have implications for the broader range of illnesses collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Genetic analysis of nine children with a severe form of early-onset colitis found mutations of two genes producing cell receptors for interleukin-10, a protein that controls the body’s inflammatory response, according to a report published online Nov. 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine.”
