Inflammatory bowel disease is a familial disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by a variety of immunological abnormalities for which there are no proven genetic markers. Studies of immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain allotypes were undertaken in 89 patients with Crohn's disease and in 18 families with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease in at least two first-degree relatives, to search for association and/or linkage between a postulated disease susceptibility locus and an immunoglobulin allotype locus. No evidence of association or linkage with a specific immunoglobulin allotype was found.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007126 Immunoglobulin Allotypes Allelic variants of the immunoglobulin light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) or heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) encoded by ALLELES of IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES.

D003093 Colitis, Ulcerative Inflammation of the COLON that is predominantly confined to the MUCOSA. Its major symptoms include DIARRHEA, rectal BLEEDING, the passage of MUCUS, and ABDOMINAL PAIN.

D003424 Crohn Disease A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.
