  Background: Some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not respond to infliximab (IFX) therapy. Gene expression studies revealed genes that may help to predict non-responding IBD patients. Our purpose was to validate the discriminating power of published genes. Methods: Microarray datasets of IBD patients responding or non-responding to IFX were downloaded from GEO database (‘transcriptomic arm’). Published genes discriminating responding and non-responding patients were identified in PubMed (‘biomarker arm’). Using ROC-analysis, the discriminating performance of genes in ‘biomarker arm’ were re-tested in each datasets of ‘transcriptomic arm’. We also performed an independent analysis of colon biopsy datasets to identify novel discriminating genes. Results: The transcriptomic arm of four GEO datasets (3 and 1 .. View More»
