The study aims to understand which genes cause IBD and expand on what is known about how IBD affects those with African ancestry.
Patients are being recruited within the first two years of diagnosis at their scheduled infusion visits.

Participation in the study will last up to five years and includes an annual collection of blood, stool, and biopsy samples, and a one-time saliva sample at the first visit.

All study visits will align with clinically indicated visits already scheduled, and biopsy collection will only occur at scopes that are part of the patient's clinical care.

This study is being done in collaboration with hospitals around the country, and is headed by Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Participants will be compensated for their time and effort, upon completion of each visit.
