Scientists at örebro University have identified specific protein patterns in blood that can predict inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) up to 16 years before diagnosis.
Örebro UniversityNov 26 2024 Scientists at örebro University have identified specific protein patterns in blood that can predict inflammatory bowel disease up to 16 years before diagnosis. In particular, Crohn's disease can be detected with very high accuracy.
By analyzing closer to 800 blood samples, researchers have identified protein patterns that separate healthy individuals from those that go on to develop Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The results show that a specific combination of 29 proteins can predict Crohn's disease with high accuracy. Ulcerative colitis, however, turned out to be somewhat more difficult to predict.
"By discovering these markers long before symptoms make themselves known, we can potentially intervene earlier and hopefully improve quality of life for those individuals that risk developing IBD," says Jonas Halfvarson.
