摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing a clinical subtype of Crohn's disease (CD) by determining whether perinuclear anti-neutrophil antibodies (pANCA) are present in a patient with CD, where the presence of pANCA indicates the clinical subtype of CD with features of ulcerative colitis (UC). The invention also provides a method of diagnosing a clinical subtype of CD by detecting an Arg.sup.241 allele at an ICAM-1 locus in a patient with CD, where the Arg.sup.241 allele indicates a clinical subtype of CD with features of ulcerative colitis. In addition, the invention provides a method of diagnosing a pANCA-positive subtype of CD by detecting an Arg.sup.241 allele at an ICAM-1 locus in a patient with CD, where the Arg.sup.241 allele indicates the pANCA-positive subtype of CD.
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:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a disease-predisposing haplotype containing a JW1 variant allele at the NOD2/CARD15 locus, where the presence of the disease-predisposing haplotype is diagnostic of or predictive of susceptibility to Crohn's disease.
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.
