Host-microbe interactions have shaped the genetic architecture of inflammatory bowel disease

Luke Jostins, +105 more
- 01 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis genome-wide association scans is undertaken, followed by extensive validation of significant findings, with a combined total of more than 75,000 cases and controls.

The gut microbiota and host health: a new clinical frontier

TL;DR: The potential of manipulating the gut microbiota in these disorders is assessed, with an examination of the latest and most relevant evidence relating to antibiotics, probiotics, prebiotics, polyphenols and faecal microbiota transplantation.

Genome-wide association study implicates immune activation of multiple integrin genes in inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: This work identified 25 new susceptibility loci, 3 of which contain integrin genes that encode proteins in pathways that have been identified as important therapeutic targets in inflammatory bowel disease and identified 3 associated variants that are correlated with expression changes in response to immune stimulus at two of these genes.
