Irritable Bowel Syndrome Strong Indication Genetic Link

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Strong Indication Genetic Link The outcomes of brand new scientific studies at the Institute of Human Genetics do suggest that irritable bowel syndrome might have hereditary causes.

Genetic epidemiology and pharmacogenetics in irritable bowel syndrome.

Abstract The objectives of this review are twofold. Our first objective is to evaluate the evidence supporting a role for genetics in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Specific examples of the associations of genetic variation and symptoms, syndromes, and intermediate phenotypes, including neurotransmitter (serotonergic, α(2)-adrenergic, and cannabinoid) mechanisms, inflammatory pathways (IL-10, TNFα, GNβ3, and susceptibility loci [...]

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials can be a great opportunity for patients. While participating in the search for cures and effective treatments, you have the chance to access potentially life-changing medications. To participate, patients must meet the specific criteria, understand the risks, and of course, speak with their doctor. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov provides regularly updated information about federally [...]

UBC study: Microbiota fend off intestinal infections

The microbes living in your gastrointestinal tract may be very tiny, but they have a big impact on health. Until now, it has been widely believed that genetics were the major factor that determined how well your body could resist intestinal infections. That assumption is now changing, thanks to a new study led by Deanna [...]
