The 1000IBD project: multi-omics data of 1000 inflammatory bowel disease patients; data release 1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic complex disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with IBD can experience a wide range of symptoms, but the pathophysiological mechanisms that cause these individual differences in clinical presentation remain largely unknown. In consequence, IBD is currently classified into subtypes using clinical characteristics. If we are to develop a more targeted treatment approach, molecular subtypes of IBD need to be discovered that can be used as new drug targets. To achieve this, we need multiple layers of molecular data generated from the same IBD patients.

Construction and content

We initiated the 1000IBD project ( https://1000ibd.org ) to prospectively follow more than 1000 IBD patients from the Northern provinces of
