Over 160 gene locations have been identified in relationship to IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). There’s also an overlap in genetic changes between individuals with Crohn’s disease and those with ulcerative colitis. From my research, a lot of scientists are convinced that genetics play a large role in the development of Crohn’s disease.
The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) says that, according to studies, 5 to 20 percent of people with Crohn’s disease have a first-degree relative (a parent, child, or sibling) with the disease. I observed that Crohn’s disease is more common in people of Northern European and Anglo-Saxon descent and is many times more common in Jewish people of European descent, also called Ashkenazi Jews, than in the rest of the population.

Crohn’s occurs much less frequently in central and southern Europe, and less still in South America, Asia, and Africa. It’s beginning to occur more frequently in blacks and Latin Americans living in North America. From these evidence I can conclude that heredity alone isn’t always responsible but I will recommend your CONTACT me to explain your unique case.
