Abstract Background and Aims: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic and refractory intestinal inflammatory disease. The 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of mRNA transcript can regulate its own translational process post-transciptionally, and its role in CD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the critical genes influencing CD phenotype via the regulation of mRNA 3′ UTR. Methods: Isoform Structural Change Model (IsoSCM) was used to evaluate the length of 3′ UTR of the whole transciptome from a RNA-seq based online CD database. Correlations between 3′ UTR length status and mRNA level were analyzed by Spearman coefficients. Correlated genes list was overlapped with published critical CD related gene list. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the genes associated with CD phenotype. Results: Compared with normal co.. View More»
