Core Tip	We investigated differences of clinical characteristics and disease courses between familial and sporadic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Despite several other studies of IBD, there is still insufficient knowledge regarding the clinical characteristics in familial IBD. We report that a family history of IBD does not seem to be an important predictive factor affecting clinical characteristics or disease course. Not only genetic background but also environmental factors might affect the disease course of IBD.
