Researchers have found seventy one new human genes in association with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) which affects the small and large (colon) intestines people in this planet. The DNA samples analysed using immunochip confirms the disease related with the bowel disease. This is a new scanning technique used to validate the proceedings. The scanning procedure identifies seventy one new genes associated with the inflammatory bowel disease like the skin disorder psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis (spine inflammation). It also gives information that these inflammatory bowel diseases variants evolve in regions responsible for resisting mycrobacterial infections. These are mainly the microbes that cause diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis. The cause for the inflammatory bowel disease is not clear and it is believed that unknown factor or agent stimulates the abnormal reaction by the immune system. The common symptoms of these diseases are severe abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
