Gene expression associates with clinical outcomes.
| Gene expression | value | Association with clinical outcome | Pathways involved with IBD |
| ↑ IRGM | | Medical treatment response to aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) | Autophagy | ↑ FOXO4 | | Histological remission | Immune response | ↑ CTLA4 | | Histological activity index score | ↓ SLC26A3 | | Clinical course: the course of the same initial activity and prolonged remission | Solute transport | ↑ SLC39A4 | | Evolution: tendency to years of evolution of between 10 and 15 years | ↑ SOD2 | | Severe histological activity | Oxidative stress | ↑ TDO2 | | Clinical course: characterized by the presence of initial activity and then prolonged remission more than 5 years | ↑ ALDOB | | Evolution: early age at diagnosis of less than 40 years | Carbohydrate metabolism | ↑ ALDOB | | Clinical course: prolonged benign clinical course characterized by the presence of higher initial activity and remission at 5 years |
