摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility for inflammatory bowel disease in the Puerto Rican population by determining the presence or absence of a risk variant at the HPS1 locus. In another embodiment, the invention further provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting protection against inflammatory bowel disease by determining the presence or absence of a protective variant at the IRF1 locus. In another embodiment, the presence in an individual of a risk variant at the CARD8 locus is diagnostic of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in a Puerto Rican individual. In another embodiment, the presence of a risk variant at the TLR-9 locus in an individual is diagnostic of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease.

In one embodiment, this invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's Disease by determining the presence or absence of risk haplotypes in IL23R, IL17A, IL17RA and/or IL12RB1 locus. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence of risk haplotype at the IL12RB2 locus.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of predicting the development of medically refractory ulcerative colitis (MR-UC) in a patient In one embodiment, disclosed is a method of prognosing ulcerative colitis in an individual 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. In another embodiment, the severe form of ulcerative colitis is indicative of MR-UC.
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 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:
A novel association between certain tumor necrosis factor microsatellite alleles and Crohn's disease has been discovered. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided methods for screening for Crohn's disease comprising detecting the presence or absence of nucleic acid of a subject encoding TNF microsatellite alleles associated with Crohn's disease, wherein the presence of nucleic acid encoding three or more of the alleles is indicative of Crohn's disease. Kits useful for screening for Crohn's disease are also provided which comprise nucleic acid encoding TNF microsatellite alleles associated with Crohn's disease.
摘要:
A novel, differential association between allele 2 of the variable number of tandem repeats polymorphism at intron 2 of the human IL-1 receptor antagonist gene and ulcerative colitis in humans of Jewish ancestry has been discovered. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided methods of screening for ulcerative colitis in human subjects of Jewish ancestry comprising detecting the presence or absence of nucleic acid of the subject encoding allele 2 of the variable number of tandem repeats polymorphism at intron 2 of the human IL-1 receptor antagonist gene, wherein the presence of nucleic acid encoding allele 2 is indicative of ulcerative colitis. Kits useful for screening for ulcerative colitis in human subjects of Jewish ancestry are also provided.
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).
