METHODS FOR IMPROVING INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE DIAGNOSIS

摘要

Methods and systems to predict and diagnose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and subtypes such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) by detecting the presence, absence, level, and/or genotype of one or more serogenetic-inflammation markers are disclosed. With these methods it is possible to provide a diagnosis of IBD versus non-IBD, to rule out IBD that is inconclusive for CD and DC, and to differentiate between CD and DC with increased accuracy.
