Title: Why would nutrigenomics be of value in studies of Inflammatory bowel diseases

Biography

Biography: Lynnette Ferguson

Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases has traditionally been considered to consist of two different forms, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. A genetic component was recognised for many years, with early studies prior to the year 2000, suggesting between 4-8 genes as being causal. However, it is largely through substantial international progress in methods for genotyping, and also the formation of large international consortia, espcially the International IBD genetics consortium, that has progressed the science to show to show significantly more than 100 genes, that determine the dietary requirements and the dietary intolerances. It seems highly likely that it should be classed as three rather than two diseases, and genetics may be an important feature in determining treatment protocols.
