Q: What is Crohn’s disease?
A: Crohn’s disease, an idiopathic (of unknown cause), chronic inflammatory disorder of the bowel, involves any region of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus.
Q: Is Crohn’s disease inherited?
A: Although environmental factors clearly contribute, there is strong evidence from studies of twins and affected families that Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, has a genetic basis. Research has shown evidence of a genetic predisposition to a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IDB) among Jewish individuals of Eastern European descent.
