Evolution of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unclassified (IBD-U): Incorporated With Serological and Gene Expression Profiles

In our cohort, 60% of the IBD-U subjects remained as unclassified at 2 years; of those subsequently classified, a higher percentage followed a course more similar to UC. Most of the IBD-U subjects at diagnosis had serological and molecular signatures that are very similar to UC. Although the atypical presentations made the clinician to make an interim diagnosis of IBD-U, results of the molecular and serological factors performed at the time of diagnosis suggests that they were very similar to UC. However, long-term studies are needed to better understand the natural history and molecular characterization of pediatric onset IBD-U. 10.1093/ibd/izy136_video1Video 1.Video 1.
