Very early onset-inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) in a male infant was caused by a novel homozygous IL10RB gene variant. This finding expands the genetic causes of VEO-IBD and highlights diagnostic and treatment challenges.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Genetics
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Very early onset-inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) can result from genetic defects impacting immune regulation.
- Monogenic causes are increasingly recognized in severe, early-onset IBD cases.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
