Are We Ready to Reclassify Crohn's Disease Using Molecular Classification?

Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. The number of IBD cases worldwide was estimated to be 4.9 million in 2019. CD exhibits heterogeneity in clinical presentation, anatomical involvement, disease behaviour, clinical course and response to treatment. The classical description of CD involves transmural inflammation with skip lesions anywhere along the entire gastrointestinal tract. The complexity and heterogeneity of Crohn's disease is not currently reflected in the conventional classification system. Though the knowledge of Crohn's pathophysiology remains far from understood, the established complex interplay of the omics-genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, metagenomics, metabolomics, lipidomics and immunophenomics-provides numerous targets for potential molecular markers of disease. Advancing technology has enabled identification of small molecules within these omics, which can be extrapolated to differentiate types of Crohn's disease. The multi-omic future of Crohn's disease is promising, with potential for advancements in understanding of its pathogenesis and implementation of personalised medicine.
