Introduction: Histological diagnosis of IBD subtypes unambiguou even today. Based on immune cell trafficking between mucosa layers in colon, tissue-specific biological information may be detected in peripheral blood (PB). Aims: To establish and to compare the characteristic gene expression profiles (GEP) of IBD in PB and in colonic biopsies for diagnostic purposes. Methods: Biopsies and peripheral blood samples (PBS) from 12 active ulcerative colitis (UC)(12/6), 9 active Crohn's colitis (CD)(9/5) and 11 healthy control (11/11) patients were taken. The isolated and labelled mRNA was hybridized to Affymetrix whole…
