TL;DR: A meta-analysis of six ulcerative colitis genome-wide association study datasets found many candidate genes that provide potentially important insights into disease pathogenesis, including IL1R2, IL8RA-IL8RB, IL7R, IL12B, DAP, PRDM1, JAK2, IRF5, GNA12 and LSP1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical course during the first 10 years of ulcerative colitis: results from a population-based inception cohort (IBSEN Study)

TL;DR: The prognosis for UC during the first 10 years was generally good, the colectomy rate was low, and a large proportion of patients were in remission as time progressed, suggesting patients with initially extensive colitis and elevated ESR could benefit from an early potent medical treatment strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical course in Crohn's disease: results of a Norwegian population-based ten-year follow-up study.
