Core Tip	Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifactorial disease, whose development and phenotype are related to both genetic and epigenetic factors. Gene polymorphisms and epigenetic modifications affect the function of brain-gut axis and are responsible for many of the symptoms of the disease. The relationship between environmental factors and IBS shows the effect of environment on gene expression alteration by epigenetic modification.
