## Background: The genetic influence on disease course in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unknown. We therefore aimed to study longitudinal concordance for clinical characteristics and longitudinal stability using the Montreal Classification in an IBD twin population. ## Methods: A tot

Background: Genetic predisposition as a cause of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been proven by both family and twin studies and genetic variants associated with the disease have been identified. The aim of our study was to determine the concordance rates for IBD in German twin pairs and to eva
## Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds) are a result of interactions between luminal pathogens and the intestinal immune response. cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) plays a key role in the regulation of the inflammatory response upon stimulation by luminal pathogens via toll-like receptors. ## Me
