Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, kits and compositions for treating an inflammatory disease. These methods. kits and compositions may be particularly useful for subjects carrying a risk genotype and/or expressing a transcriptomic risk signature that is indicative of severe inflammatory disease phenotypes for which existing treatment options are limited.
