## Background: The pregnane X receptor gene (PXR/NR1I2) has been recently associated with an increased risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although a subsequent case-control study failed to replicate the original association in an independent population. This nuclear receptor regulates gene

The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by acute and chronic inflammatory changes in the small or large bowel, or in both. Increasing incidence and prevalence figures for IBD both in the developed and developing world indicate that environmental fa
Inflammation in the intestine is a well-known risk factor for neoplastic changes in the mucosa. In fact, it has been shown that long-standing ulcerative colitis and colonic Crohn's disease have a significantly increased risk for developing colorectal cancer, although the estimates vary widely betwee
