Abstract excerpt
The identification of the role of genetic variants within NOD2 (CARD15) in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis susceptibility highlight the role of the innate immune system in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. NOD1 (CARD4) is located on chromosome 7p14.3, in a region of known linkage to IBD and encodes an intracellular bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptor that is closely...
