The FunDysGWAS ESNM Project
The aim of this project is to create an European based database to investigate the role of different genetic factors that might be linked to functional dyspepsia (FD) symptoms. At present, the project group has collected samples 196 of FD patients and 190 samples of healthy controls. The project ist looking for new centers in Europe that would like to help and are eager to recruit 50 patients or more diagnosed with functional dyspepsia as described by the Rome IV criteria and if possible 50 healthy controls during the next year.

Graphic Abstract: Functional Neuroimaging in IBS
In a study Nistico et al. reviewed literature on functional neuroimaging in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to find out whether there are similarities between those seen in IBS and other functional disorders, especially functional movement disorders (FMD). The study revealed abnormal activation and functional connectivity of brain areas of IBS patients which coincide with examinations of FMD patients. Nistico et al. hypothesize that various functional disturbances may share a common pathophysiology.
