| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the peripheral blood samples from very early onset-inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) patients, whose age less than 8 years old, on written informed consent from their guardians, and performed whole exome sequencing for detection and analyses of the causative genes and their role with Next generation sequencer in the department of pediatrics, Tohoku university.
We detected the causative genes of VEO-IBD in 5 of 35 cases/33 families, included 2 of IL-10 receptor A deficiency, 2 of XIAP deficiency, and 1 of Chronic granulomatous disease, each of which was documented with a causative gene of VEO-IBD due to the single gene alternation. We revealed that there were constant cases of VEO-IBD, associated with some immune deficiency diseases in Japan, and it will be possible that in the future we would make the appropriate proposal for diagnosis and treatment of VEO-IBD due to their causative genes and clinical information.
