Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The single-nucleotide polymorphism T300A of ATG16L1, a Crohn's disease (CD)-associated gene, is responsible for decreased autophagy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of this single-nucleotide polymorphism on the uptake and processing of antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and the interaction between DC and intestinal epithelium in pediatric patients with CD. METHODS: Pediatric patients who...
