Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the gene encoding the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) protein are associated with Crohn's disease (CD), but the mechanism underlying this is not completely understood. To study the mechanism of CD resulting from NOD2 mutations, we analyzed NOD2-dependent whole-genome expression profiles of patient-derived antigen-presenting cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Monocyte-derived...
