Background Microbial composition-based risk score (MRS) was recently developed and validated to predict future risk of developing Crohn’s disease (CD) among healthy first-degree relatives (FDR) of CD patients. We hypothesized that stool metabolomic profiles, some of which are linked to the gut microbiome, are associated with future risk of CD. Aims To assess the association of stool metabolomic profile with onset of CD and to determine the correlation between stool metabolites and the MRS Methods Healthy FDR of CD patients were recruited as part of the nested case-control cohort of the CCC-GEM Project. Healthy FDRs who later developed CD (n=56) were matched approximately 1:1 by age, sex, follow-up duration, and geographical location with control FDRs remaining healthy (n=66). Stool metabolomics were assessed using the Metabolon’s DiscoveryHD4™ platform, and the stool microbiome characterised by 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing. We fitted a multivariable conditional logistic regression model on the disease status as a function of individual stool metabolites. We additionally performed Spearman correlation between each stool metabolite and the MRS. Results Among 1,029 stool metabolites that were analyzed, 79 were associated with future risk of CD (p&amp;lt;0.05); however, none remained significant after multiple testing correction (FDR correction). Considering the exploratory nature of this study with limited sample size, we focused on the top seven metabolites associated with CD onset (p&amp;lt;0.01). Of these, two stool metabolites (dimethylglycine, methylmyristate) were associated with increased risk of CD onset while five (cytosine, guanine, cytidine, hydroxyglutarate, nervonate) were associated with decreased risk of developing CD. The two metabolites positively associated with CD onset were positively correlated with the MRS, while the five metabolites negatively associated with CD onset, were negatively correlated with the MRS. Meanwhile, 24 stool metabolites had significant correlation with MRS (FDR-corrected p&amp;lt;0.2). Among those, a total of four stool metabolites (cytosine, guanine, methymyristate, cytidine) overlapped with the top seven stool metabolites associated with CD onset. Conclusions Stool metabolite profiles may predict future risk of CD. A subset of these metabolites have significant correlation with the MRS with consistent direction of effect. This may suggest that stool metabolites mediate the putative effect of the gut microbiome on CD risk. Further validation in the full GEM cohort is warranted.
