Abstract excerpt
The early identification of NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2) as a susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease first catalysed major interest in the role of innate immunity in IBD. This interest has been substantiated by genome-wide association studies with the identification of genetic association between Crohn's disease and variants in two separate autophagy genes, ATG16L1 and...
