Archive description

To dissect the gut microbiome dysbiosis in PBC, we performed stool metagenome, metabolome, and serum metabolome profiling and collected detailed metadata from a cohort of 132 UDCA naive-patients with PBC and 131 healthy controls matched for geography, age, sex, and BMI.

How this project entered the registry

Classified as human gut / stool shotgun DNA metagenome of age unknown by opus_adjudicated with confidence 0.85. Assay shotgun_dna.
