Study found 80 gene loci for inflammatory bowel disease in East Asian populations. 16 loci were new loci that had never been reported.
54 loci first identified in East Asia populations, of which 38 were reported in European populations. By comparing and analyzing relevant data from the International. Genetic Association of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, the study expanded the total number of gene. loci associated withinflammatory bowel disease to 320. After using the "polygenic risk score" assessment, the researchers found that the accuracy of pathological prediction of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis was substantially improved.
