Consanguinity and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Abstract: There is no significant relation between parental consanguinity and IBD in this population, especially when there is no FH of disease, suggesting reduced genetic susceptibility; however, further studies including larger sample size and details of FH of consanguinity and IBD in multiple generations are needed for further definitions of the role of consanguinity.

“…These fi ndings were lower than those of the previous studies. [4,5,20,21] Most of our patients had classic symptoms of IBD such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and rectal bleeding on admission, which were similar to those reported previously. Bloody diarrhea was more common in patients with UC than in those with CD.…”

“…Such a high prevalence could be related to the high consanguinity rate (up to 60%) in the Saudi community, which might confer genetic susceptibility to early development of IBD. 19 The relation between consanguinity and IBD has been questioned in a local study by El-mouzan et al, 20 who did not find significant association between consanguinity and IBD in 138 pediatric patients. In addition to the relatively small sample size, another limiting factor was that the authors did not perform a subgroup analysis based on the age of onset to evaluate differences in consanguinity rate.…”

“…This was in contrast to patients born in North America and Europe, where they were born to consanguineous parents and had homozygous mutations. The high rate of consanguinity in the Arabic population resulted in a high incidence of IL-10R homozygous mutations that were associated with a high prevalence of IO-IBD [17]. Thus, the genetic architecture of East Asian patients may be different compared with those from other regions of the world.…”
