Abstract
Biomarkers are objectively measured indicators of normal and abnormal biologic processes and may vary with therapeutic interventions. In the area of gastrointestinal diseases, biomarker research is primarily in the area of cancer biology. Little is known about biomarkers in connection with other gastrointestinal disorders. This article reviews biomarker data for nononcologic gastrointestinal processes with a focus on allergic disorders.
