Genetics and genomics are beginning to strongly influence the care of patients with GI conditions. From common disorders such as colorectal cancer, pancreatitis and multiple polyps; to rare conditions like hereditary hemorrhagic telangectasia, knowledge of genomic developments is increasingly highly useful to doctors and their patients. And in the research realm, genomic analyses are beginning to dissect the etiology of clinically important but enigmatic conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Genetics in Medicine, The American Journal of Gastroenterology and Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology have published seminal articles exploring new genomic findings in clinical practice and in research. GIM, AJG and CTG will continue to keep readers up to date in this fast-moving field with reports that matter to the practicing gastroenterologist and to researchers.
