I worked with someone at big name university biomedical informatics department who found out only in their early 30's by emergency health crisis that they had Crohn's. Perhaps with some people it requires an emergency for there to be clinical investigation, or epigenetic conditions silence some pathologies until there is a specific stressor or gene activation.

I sure hope a CRISPR edit treatment comes along to permanently cure some of the serious Crohn subtypes.
