Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in human Nod2 has been associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease. The mouse Nod2 locus is located at chromosome 8 and composed of 12 exons, 11 of which encode the Nod2 protein. Sequence analysis of Nod2 from 45 different strains of Mus musculus and Mus spretus revealed extensive polymorphism involving all exons of Nod2. Of the 140 polymorphic sites identified, 68 were located in the...
