Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes chronic
inflammatory disease of the intestines and has a variable
course; Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
comprise the two main forms of the condition.
Although IBD occurs worldwide, its epidemiologic and
clinical characteristics vary depending upon the geographic
location and the ethnicity of the population.
Identifying the characteristic features of IBD in populations
living in different geographical locations and
with different ethnicities may provide significant clues
about its etiology and pathophysiology, which in turn
may be helpful in the development of more appropriate
treatment strategies for IBD for these different
populations. Therefore, it is important for each country
and region to evaluate critically the epidemiology, genomics,
and clinical characteristics of IBD among its
own population. We have performed a critical review
of the recent data in Korea, and describe herein the
current epidemiologic and genotypic status, as well as
the clinical manifestations and therapeutic responses
of IBD that are unique to Korean patients. (Gut Liver
