First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined how differences in the BAFF gene might affect a person's risk of developing ulcerative colitis and how well they respond to the drug vedolizumab. Researchers analyzed genetic samples from 841 people with ulcerative colitis. The goal was to better understand the disease and potentially improve treatment choices in the future.
