Abstract excerpt
Both NOD1/CARD4 and NOD2/CARD15 are intracellular pattern-recognition receptors involved in the innate immune response. Germline NOD2/CARD15 variation has a definite effect on susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD) and phenotype, although this contribution is weak in Scotland and Scandinavia. The NOD1/CARD4 gene lies within the putative inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) locus at 7p14.3. We have assessed, in...
