Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Research on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has highlighted genes involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses as contributors to disease pathogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between IBD and variations in NOD2, TLR4, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-1RN genes, and to use the genetic data obtained in predictive modeling. METHODS: A total of 167 IBD patients and 101 healthy...
