Inflammatory Bowel Disease 19: Inflammatory bowel disease refers to digestive symptoms resulting from chronic bowel inflammation. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two of the main subtypes of the disease. Scientists have discovered an array of genetic mutations which can result in an increased susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease. Not all people with the genetic anomaly will develop the condition but it can increase the risk especially if other environmental factors are also present. The severity of the disease that develops is variable. Inflammatory Bowel Disease 19 is linked to 5q33.1.

Prognosis for Inflammatory Bowel Disease 19: The prognosis varies considerably amongst patients. Some patients suffer relatively mild symptoms and go into remission with simple treatment measures whereas others suffer severe illness and have frequent flare-ups. Although patients with long-term disease face a higher risk of developing colon cancer, their survival rates tend to be better due to the fact that their condition means that their digestive system is regularly monitored and cancers tend to be detected earlier.
