↑ IRGMMedical treatment response to aminosalicylates (5-ASAs)Autophagy
↑ FOXO4Histological remissionImmune response
↑ CTLA4Histological activity index score
↓ SLC26A3Clinical course: the course of the same initial activity and prolonged remissionSolute transport
↑ SLC39A4Evolution: tendency to years of evolution of between 10 and 15 years
↑ SOD2Severe histological activityOxidative stress
↑ TDO2Clinical course: characterized by the presence of initial activity and then prolonged remission more than 5 years
