Abstract excerpt
Advances in genetics have shed light on the molecular basis of Crohn's disease (CD) predisposition and pathogenesis, via linkage disequilibrium analysis to genome-wide association studies. The discovery of genetic variants of NOD2, an intracellular pathogen molecular sensor, as risk factors for CD has paved the way for further research on innate immunity in this disease. Remarkably, polymorphisms in autophagy...
