30 Jan 2020, International Comprehensive JournalJournal of Advanced ResearchPublished online the research of a team collaboration between Professor Duan Liping of Peking University Third Hospital and Professor Wang Zhiren of Huilongguan Clinical School of Medicine of Peking University "Shared genetic susceptibilities for irritable bowel syndrome and depressive disorder in Chinese patients uncovered by pooled whole-exome sequencing" (Zhu SW, He MB, Liu ZJ, et al. J Adv Res, 2020, 23: 113-121. DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2020.01.016.). The study found that Chinese patients with diarrheal irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) and patients with depression have two identical susceptibility gene loci-SYT8 rs3741231 and SSPO rs12536873, in addition to discovering a new IBS-D susceptibility gene locus-COL6A1 rs13051496.
