Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have identified a genetic variant that is associated with perianal Crohn's disease. Investigators at Cedars-Sinai have discovered a genetic variant that elevates an individual's likelihood of experiencing perianal Crohn's disease, which is considered to be the most severe
Perianal Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the area around the anus. It can cause symptoms such as pain, itching and discharge, as well as more serious complications such as abscesses and fistulas. Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have identified a genetic mutation associated with perianal Crohn’s disease. Investigator Cedars Sinai […]

Cedars-Sinai investigators have identified a genetic variant that increases people’s risk of developing perianal Crohn’s disease, the most debilitating manifestation of Crohn’s disease. The variant generates changes to DNA that lead to a loss of protein function, which in turn, alters how the body recognizes and handles bacteria, making it less effective at fighting infections.
