Abstract excerpt
In recent years considerable advances in understanding the pathogenesis of Crohn disease have been achieved, with the identification of susceptibility variants of genes that are part of the autophagy machinery, i.e., ATG16L1 and IRGM. Subsequent functional studies have been conducted to unravel the underlying mechanism of this genetic association. For the ATG16L1 Thr300Ala polymorphism (c.898A > G, rs2241880), it...
