A team of researchers here at UCLA have identified several genetic factors that may be involved in early-onset pediatric ulcerative #colitis #IBD. The results could eventually point the way toward new approaches to treat or prevent ulcerative colitis in humans. The loss of the gene Pten in the intestine changes the gut microbiome. There was also an increase in a group of bacteria called Bacteroides, which trigger inflammatory responses. This new information can be used to further develop targets for prevention and inflammation.
