Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: CX3CR1, the receptor of CX3CL1/fractalkine, is involved in regulation of inflammatory response and the CX3CR1-I249-M280 naturally occurring mutants are associated with altered binding to the ligand. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency of CX3CR1 V249I and T280M polymorphisms and NOD2/CARD15 mutations in Crohn's disease patients and to search for a relationship with phenotype. METHODS: Clinical data...
