Abstract excerpt
CARD15 genes carrying the 3020insC frameshift polymorphism encode a truncated CARD15 protein that is unresponsive to bacterial muramyl dipeptide, and are strongly associated with increased susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). In this study we established that CARD15 gene sequences encompassing the major 3020insC polymorphism could be readily amplified from the DNA found in saliva. In addition, CARD15 RNA...
