Abstract
We have identified a suite of genes in a limited number of human colonic tissue samples with expression patterns that correlate with whether an individual is experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (FIG.). Interestingly, in the efforts to screen for genes that might be used as biomarkers for IBS, it was found that no single gene could be used for this purpose. Instead, when examining the entire dataset, there exist signature gene expression patterns (e.g., fingerprints or biosignatures) of IBS that have use as a diagnostic tool for IBS.
