Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported strong evidence for linkage between IBD1 and Crohn's disease (CD) in Australian Crohn's disease families. Three risk alleles for Crohn's disease, (Arg702Trp (C/T), Gly908Arg (G/C) and 980fs981 (-/C), were recently identified in the CARD15/NOD2 gene on chromosome 16, implicating this as the IBD1 locus. Using a novel diagnostic PCR-RFLP, we have examined the frequency of these alleles in...
