CHICAGO — In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, a “strong and consistent three-way interaction” was identified between HLA-B27, male sex and the development of sacroiliitis, according to data presented at Digestive Disease Week.Sacroiliitis occurs in approximately 20% of patients with IBD, often aligned with male sex and HLA-B27 status; however, large-scale studies on the
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have identified a genetic variant that is associated with perianal Crohn's disease. Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have discovered a genetic variant that elevates an individual's likelihood of experiencing perianal Crohn's disease, which is considered to be the most severe
Perianal Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the area around the anus. It can cause symptoms such as pain, itching and discharge, as well as more serious complications such as abscesses and fistulas. Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have identified a genetic mutation associated with perianal Crohn’s disease. Investigator Cedars Sinai […]
