Abstract

A method for prognostic or diagnostic assessment of a gastrointestinal-related disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, in a subject correlates the presence, absence, and/or magnitude of a gene in a sample with a reference standard to determine the presence and/or severity of the disorder, and/or the response to treatment for the disorder. The method enables identification of the effectiveness of candidate therapies.
