Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: An increased expression of interleukin-18 (IL-18), a proinflammatory cytokine inducing interferon-gamma, has been found in Crohn's disease (CD). In the IL-18 gene, several partly functional relevant polymorphisms are known. This study sought to investigate associations of IL-18 polymorphisms in inflammatory bowel disease and CD according to CARD15/NOD2 mutation status and clinical phenotypes. METHODS:...
