Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: the genetic revolution

Gastroentérologie Clinique Et Biologique
C Jung, J-P Hugot

Abstract

The genetic component of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases is among the best known for complex genetic disorders. If the functional candidate gene approach was rarely fruitful in the past, genome-wide scans allowed finding several susceptibility genes for Crohn disease including NOD2, IL23R, ATG16L1, IRGM, TNFSF15, a region close to PTGER4, PTPN2, PTPN22, NKX2-3 and many others. Only one gene, ECM1, has been reported for ulcerative colitis alone. We now need to further explore these new genes before to understand their biological role. However they clearly demonstrate the importance of innate immunity and autophagy for Crohn's disease and of the TH-17 differentiation for ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and other inflammatory disorders.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
