STARD7 and inflammatory bowel disease: To get insight into the pathways associated with altered STARD7 mRNA expression and the IBD phenotype, we performed pathway enrichment analyses on the DEGs (up and down; 3,238 total number of genes; P adjusted value < 0.05) between STARD7lo UC (n = 56) and non-IBD patients (n = 16) (Figure 1H and Supplemental Table 4).
