Research Article: Inflammatory bowel disease activity threatens ankylosing spondylitis: implications from Mendelian randomization combined with transcriptome analysis

Date Published: 2024-02-28

Abstract:
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) share common traits of chronic recurrent inflammation affecting both the intestines and joints. Epidemiological studies have revealed that the incidence of AS has jumped from 0.3% to 3% among patients with IBD. However, these findings do not definitively establish a causal relationship whereby IBD directly leads to the development of AS. Moreover, whether the activity of IBD will have an impact on this process remains a pending question.
