The genetics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an area of enormous topical interest. Crohn's disease is one of the first polygenic diseases in which a susceptibility gene ( NOD2 ) has been positionally cloned, providing proof of principle for methodologies that to date had been mired in uncertainty.
