Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The common association between NOD2/CARD15 and TLR4 gene variants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been replicated in all studies. We studied the polymorphism of these two genes in Tunisian patients with IBD. METHODS: Polymorphisms of NOD2 (R702W, G908R and L1007fs) and TLR4 (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile) genes were analyzed in 106 patients with IBD (68 with ulcerative colitis [UC], 38 with...
