Genetic links to ulcerative colitis
January 20, 2009A patron of mine sent me this interesting news story from Mount Sinai Hospital in Canada. Some doctors have found tentative genetic differences in people with colitis compared to people without colitis. This is very new research so it doesn’t really mean much but it’s interesting to check out.
I’m not sure where genetics will go in the future or what I think of it yet, but rest assured, there will be much more research done in this area in the coming years.
If you come across any news stories relevant to colitis or Crohn’s, don’t be afraid to email me and I can post them for others to see.
Keep fighting,

Hi Dennis,
There is a related project going on with Crohn’s disease, although this one is looking at currently healthy siblings:
