Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory condition associated with a
predisposition to colon cancer, is frequently characterized by DNA damage in
the form of microsatellite instability (MSI). A new report links
inflammation in UC with increases in the DNA repair enzymes 3-methyladenine
DNA glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, and, paradoxically,
with increased MSI. These findings may represent a novel mechanism
contributing to MSI in chronic inflammation.

This is a pretty serious disease. A friend of mine almost died from
it. They had to remove most of his colon to save his life.
