Does Ulcerative Colitis run in families ?
Ulcerative Colitis tends to run in families, so we know that genes are involved. Studies have shown that about
two out of 10 people with Ulcerative Colitis have a close relative with either Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s
Disease. However, genes are only part of the picture and research suggests that environmental
triggers play an important role too. So, if you have children, studies have shown that they are
more likely not to get IBD.
