    Genetic admixture of United States Hispanic individuals provides a unique opportunity to examine ancestral origins of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk. In ∼7.3K Hispanic participants (1660 IBD cases; 5614 controls), we examined ancestral heterogeneity of IBD clinical phenotypes and sought to identify IBD risk loci that displayed heterogeneity of effect or were ancestry-specific. Association of genetic ancestry with clinical phenotypes was evaluated. We conducted an ancestry-informed genome-wide (GW) association study for IBD, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease (CD) to obtain ancestry-specific effect size estimates for alleles from African (AFR), European (EUR), and Amerindian (AIAN) origin. Ancestry-specific replication was assessed in All of Us Hispanic participants and transf

Discuss with your doctor

  • Ulcerative colitis genetic risk and screening strategy Moderate

    The C allele at rs112230377 is associated with increased ulcerative colitis susceptibility; individualized assessment may be warranted.

    Discuss UC family history and screening recommendations with physician.

Screening

  • Ulcerative colitis symptom awareness Moderate

    The C allele at rs112230377 is associated with substantially elevated ulcerative colitis risk.

    Report persistent diarrhea, bloody stools, abdominal pain, or weight loss to physician.
