Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) 3020insC (NOD2fs) mutation increases susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD), but the mechanism remains controversial. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function phenotypes have been described as a result of NOD2fs. Here, we show that dendritic cells (DC) derived from CD patients homozygous for this mutation respond normally to purified Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands but...
