Core Tip	In this paper, we analyze the relationship between the methylation status of selected genes (TGFB2, SLIT2) and the inflammation status (according to endoscopic and histological activity) in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s colitis patients with increased risks for colorectal cancer. We observed that methylation correlated better with histological activity than with endoscopic activity. SLIT2 and TGFB2 were more frequently methylated in the distal colon. In the multivariate analysis after adjusting for disease extension, disease duration and inflammatory status, only inflammatory status was an independent predictor of methylation. We also observed that the maintenance of histological healing with time might be protective for methylation.
