NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Nov. 8 (TNSjou) -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
All of us suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) distress from time to time, but people with mutations in the SLC12A2 gene suffer from chronic GI infections, intestinal obstruction, constipation, nutrient malabsorption and blood in the intestine.
To understand why this mutation causes such intense GI distress, Eric Delpire, PhD, and team used human epithelial colon cells . . .
