Genetics of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Understanding and Future Directions by P. K. Chandra Sekar, R. Veerabathiran

“…These genetic variants, integral to IBD's etiology of IBD, have functional significance because they perturb immune regulation, compromise epithelial barrier integrity, and disrupt mucosal homeostasis, collectively contributing to intestinal inflammation through diverse mechanisms. Early detection of IBD is paramount for arresting disease progression and underscoring the importance of prognostic testing and genetic screening, especially in cases with familial predispositions or very early onset IBD. …”
