Abstract excerpt
Crohn's disease (CD) is caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. It is not clear at present whether age of onset (AOO) is a random event or dictated by genotype or environmental factors. Mutations in the NOD2/caspase recruitment domains 15 (CARD15) and in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene have been associated with increased susceptibility for CD. We sought to determine whether single or...
