Abstract excerpt
The concept that mutations in germ-line encoded pattern recognition receptors with immune activating functions are associated with an increased incidence in Crohn's disease (CD) is gaining acceptance. Whether these mutations have similar or distinct effects on cellular physiology remains obscure. The incidence of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the Nod2 gene and one functional SNP within both...
