摘要:
The invention relates to method of diagnosing susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual by obtaining a sample from the individual, assaying the sample to determine the presence or absence of one or more risk genetic variants and/or an increase in IFNG DNA methylation. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of diagnosing susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual by obtaining a sample from the individual, assaying the sample to determine the presence or absence of one or more risk genetic variants and/or an increase in IFNG DNA methylation relative to a normal subject, and diagnosing susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease based on the presence of one or more risk genetic variants and/or an increase in IFNG DNA methylation relative to a normal subject. In another embodiment, the IBD is ulcerative colitis.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease in a subject having Crohn's disease by determining the presence or absence of IgA anti-I2 antibodies in the subject, where the presence of the IgA anti-I2 antibodies indicates that the subject has a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease. In one embodiment, a method of the invention is practiced by further determining the presence or absence in the subject of a NOD2 variant, anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA), IgA anti-OmpC antibodies, or perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (pANCA). The methods of the invention can be used to diagnose or predict susceptibility to a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease, for example, a fibrostenotic subtype, a subtype characterized by the need for small bowel surgery, or a subtype characterized by the absence of features of ulcerative colitis.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease by determining the presence or absence in an individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, where the presence of the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is diagnostic of or predictive of susceptibility to the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease characterized by fibrostenosing disease. In a method of the invention, the clinical subtype of Crohn's disease can be, for example, characterized by fibrostenosing disease independent of small bowel involvement. The invention also provides a method of optimizing therapy in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a fibrostenosis-predisposing allele linked to a NOD2/CARD15 locus, diagnosing individuals in which the fibrostenosis-predisposing allele is present as having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease, and treating the individual having a fibrostenosing subtype of Crohn's disease based on the diagnosis.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Inflammatory Bowel Disease by determining the presence or absence of genetic variants in the TL1A gene. In one embodiment, a method of the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of TL1A production following Fc-gamma-R activation. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of treatment of inflammatory bowel disease by inhibition of TL1A.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease by determining the presence or absence of genetic variants. In one embodiment, a the invention is practiced by determining the presence or absence of NOD2 variants in an individual where the presence of NOD2 variants are indicative of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in the individual. In another embodiment, the invention further determines the presence or absence of TLR8 variants where the presence of TLR8 variants are inflammatory bowel disease in female individuals. In another embodiment, the invention further determines the presence or absence of TR2 variant P631H where the presence of TLR2 variant P631H is indicative of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease.
摘要:
The inventors have discovered an elevated serum response to CBir1 flagellin in Crohn's disease patients. The present invention relates to methods for diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease and/or subtypes of Crohn's disease. Diagnosis is accomplished by determining the presence of the anti-CBir1 expression or determining the presence of anti-CBir1 expression and detection of the presence of pANCA. Treatment methods include antigen-directed therapy targeting CBir1 flagellin and manipulating the bacteria in the colon and/or small intestine.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing Crohn's disease in a subject by determining the presence or absence or IgA anti-OmpC antibodies in the subject, where the presence of the IgA anti-OmpC antibodies indicates that the subject has Crohn's disease.
摘要:
A novel association between IBD and a polymorphism at amino acid residue 241 of ICAM-1 has been discovered. In accordance with the present invention there is provided methods of screening for IBD, methods for treating IBD, antibodies specifically reactive wish ICAM-1 encoded by R241 allele and kits which exploit the inventive methods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual by determining the presence of at least one risk genetic variant and/or at least one risk serological marker. In one embodiment, the presence of at least one risk genetic variant is indicative of granuloma. In another embodiment, the presence of at least one risk genetic variant is indicative of low bone density (LBD).
摘要:
Methods of predicting the development of medically refractory ulcerative colitis (MR-UC) in a patient by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants, where the presence of one or more risk variants is indicative of a severe and/or aggressive form of ulcerative colitis are disclosed.
