Abstract Background and Aims Multiple genetic and environmental factors are involved in
the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] including Crohn's disease [CD] and …

A combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure is thought to cause
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the non-genetic component remains poorly …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the
gastrointestinal tract and is associated with significant morbidity. The etiology of IBD has …

Several studies have examined environmental factors and inflammatory bowel diseases
(IBD) using traditional approaches; however, provided results are still conflicting. Our aim …

In the last several years there has been an explosion in the discovery of inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) susceptibility genes; however, similar advances in identifying and defining …

Inflammatory bowel diseases consisting of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic
inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to genetic susceptibility and …

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis constitute two major subgroups of inflammatory bowel
diseases (IBD), a group of complex polygenic diseases characterized by chronic and …

AIM: Advances in genetics and immunology have contributed to the current understanding of
the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). METHODS: The current opinion on …

Background In the complex etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the exposome is a
major contributor. Though many environmental exposures have been identified, quality of …

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising worldwide, with a particularly
sharp increase in children. Rates are highest in North America and Europe, with rapid …
