Crohn’s disease (CD) is a disease of the gastrointestinal system that may first appear in young adults, and which may possess a genetic component. Frequently targeting the bowel, especially the small intestine, Crohn’s disease is as yet incurable.

Affecting some half-a-million persons, Crohn’s presents a sizable problem to the community.
