Etiology: Genetic Factors

Genetic factors influencing affecting the development of IDB

Since the discovery of key areas of the IDB1 such as NOD2/ CARD15 , approximately nine distinct loci have been identified to play a role in the development of IDB. Genes associated with the development of IDB have been identified to affect bacterial recognition, immune response, mucosal transport or polarity. (Furguson et al 2007)

  1. Genes affecting bacterial recognition
    • Autophagy-related 16 like 1 (ATG16l1)
      ATG16L1 has been identified as part of the autophagosome pathway playing an important role in the processing of bacteria.
    • Human beta defensin B2, B3, B3
      Studies have identified that patients with mutation in the CARD15 gene exhibit weaker expressions of the defensin gene.Of the most effected is the expression of human alpha defensin in the ileal Paneth cells. Individual with IDB also exhibit a reduction in the expression of Human Beta defensin within the colon, specifically the epithelial beta defensins HBD2, HBD3 and HBD4.
    • Caspase-activatin recruitment domain 15(CARD15)
      CARD15 has been strongly associated with the development of CD. The CARD15 encodes the Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein (NOD2) which has been thought to protect individuals against invasive bacteria, by eliminating intracellular pathogens in the epithelial cells at the gastrointestinal mucosa barrier. CARD15 functions as sensor for the presence of peptidoglycan located in the cell walls of bacteria. CARD15 is expressed by Macrophage cells and intestinal paneth cells and is involved in modulating the activity of the immune related transcription factor, NF Beta Kappa.

      CD has been linked to the pericentrometric region of chromosome 16. CARD15 acts as a susceptibility allele, with three polymorphisms R702W, G908R and 1007fs. Distinctive phenotypic associations with CD suggests that most CD patients with the CARD15 gene tend to be people of younger European descent with a family history of the disease as well as an obstructive or stenosing disease located in the ileum.
  2. Genes affecting Immune response

    • Major Histocompatibility complex (MHC)
      Studies have shown that the IBD3 locus on chromosome 6p, containing the MHC region has been associated with development of UC.
    • Interleukin-23 receptor(IL23R)
      The IL23R gene located on chromosome region 1p31 is responsible for encoding a subunit of the receptor for IL23, a pro inflammatory cytokine.IL23 R has been associated with the development of CD
    • Toll-like receptor (TLRs)
      Toll receptors are pattern that induce innate immune responses in antigens-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, which themselves are linked to adaptive immune response.TLR4 located in the gut lymphoid and epithelial cells act by sensing components of the colonic microbiota and inducing innate immune responses TLR4 are located on chromosomal region 9p. TLR4 plays a role in the development of both UC and CD.
  3. Genes affecting mucosal transport
    Photobucket
    • Sodium dependent organic cation transporters (SLC22A4 and SL22A5)
      SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 have been associated with the IBD5 locus responsible for the development of CD in adults. SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 genes function in the transport of 1-carnitine and elimination of cation drugs in the intestines
    • ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1)
      The ABCB1 gene is located at the chromosomal region7q21.1. This gene encodes for adenosine triphosphate-dependent efflux transporter pump protein.ABCB1 is highly expressed in the epithelial surface of the intestines, where it plays a role in the protection of the epithelium against xenobiotics. ABCB1 has been suggest to be involved in the development of UC.
    • Drosophila discs large homologue 5(DLG5)
      The DLG5 gene is located on chromosome region 10q23. DLG5 is widely expressed in the small bowel, intestinal epithelial cells and colon. DLG5 has been associated with the development of Crohn's disease

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed of herpes 3 years ago. ever since then,we have been going from one hospital to the other. We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months. My daughter was making use of Acyclovir tablets 200mg. 2 tablets every 6hours and fusitin cream 15grams. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied 2x a day but all still show no result. So I was on the internet some months back, to sought for any other means of saving my only child. just then, i came across a comment on dr imoloa herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. i contacted the him and he prepared some herbs and sent it to me together with guidelines on how to use the herbs through DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed dr imoloa and in less than 14days, my daughter regained her health.. You should contact Dr imoloa today directly on his email address for any kind of health challenge; lupus disease, mouth ulcer, mouth cancer, fever, hepatitis A.B.C., syphilis, diarrhoea, HIV/AIDS, Huntington's Disease, back acne, Chronic renal failure, addison disease, Chronic Pain, Crohn's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fibromyalgia, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, fungal nail disease, Lyme Disease, Lymphoma, Major Depression, Malignant Melanoma, Mania, Melorheostosis, Meniere's Disease, Mucopolysaccharidosis , Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Alzheimer's Disease, parkison disease, vaginal cancer, epilepsy, Anxiety Disorders, Autoimmune Disease, Back Pain, Back Sprain, Bipolar Disorder, Brain Tumour, Malignant, Bruxism, Bulimia disease, Cervical Disk Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Hypertension, Diabetes, asthma, Inflammatory autoimmune-mediated arthritis. chronic kidney disease, inflammatory joint disease, impotence, feta alcohol spectrum, Dysthymic Disorder, Eczema, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease. and many more; contact him on email- drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com./ also on whatssap-+2347081986098.

  2. Hello everyone, i'm Linda Harry from United State i was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease  for over 6 years which made me loose my job and my relationship with my Fiance after he discovered that i was having Parkinson, he departed from me, and i tried all my best to make him stays, but he neglected me until a friend of mine  from UK told me Great healer, who will restore my life back with his powerful healing herbal medicine. then he  sent me his email address to contact him- drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com. and i quickly contacted him, and he said my condition can be solved, that he will treat the disease immediately only if i can accept trust on him and accept his terms and condition, i Agreed because i was so much in need of help by all means, so i did all he instructed me to do. And surprisingly after two weeks, He sent me a text, that i should hurry up to the hospital for a checkup, which i truly did, i confirm from my doctor that i am now ( PARKINSON NEGATIVE) my eyes filled with tears and joy, crying heavily because truly the disease deprived me of many things from my life, This is a Miracle, dr imoloa also uses his powerful herbal medicine to cure the following diseases:  lupus disease,  mouth ulcer,  mouth cancer, body pain, fever, hepatitis A.B.C.,   syphilis,  diarrhea,  HIV/AIDS,  Huntington's Disease,   back acne,  Chronic renal failure,   addison disease,  Chronic Pain,   Crohn's Disease,   Cystic Fibrosis,  Fibromyalgia,   Inflammatory Bowel Disease,  fungal nail disease, Lyme Disease, Celia disease, Lymphoma, Major Depression,  Malignant Melanoma,   Mania,  Melorheostosis,   Meniere's Disease,  Mucopolysaccharidosis , Multiple Sclerosis,  Muscular Dystrophy,  Rheumatoid Arthritis, Alzheimer's Disease, parkison disease, vaginal cancer, epilepsy,  Anxiety Disorders, Autoimmune Disease,   Back Pain,  Back Sprain,   Bipolar Disorder,  Brain Tumour,  Malignant,   Bruxism, Bulimia,  Cervical Disk Disease, cardiovascular disease, Neoplasms, chronic respiratory disease,  mental and behavioural disorder,     Cystic Fibrosis,   Hypertension, Diabetes, asthma,  Inflammatory autoimmune-mediated arthritis.  chronic kidney disease, inflammatory joint disease,  impotence,  feta alcohol spectrum,  Dysthymic Disorder,   Eczema, tuberculosis,  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, bone cancer, lung cancer. contact him on email- drimolaherbalmademedicine@gmail.com. and also on whatssap- +2347081986098
