Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and of the related co-chaperone FKBP5 genes in the development of glucocorticoid (GC) resistance in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. We have developed a high-resolution DNA melting method that allows simultaneous identification of GR (BclI, N363S and ER22/23EK)...
