Genetic and Transcriptomic Variation Linked to Neutrophil Granulocyte–Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Signaling in Pediatric Crohn’s Disease
13 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor auto-antibodies (GMAbs) suppress neutrophil-extrinsic GM-CSF signaling and increase risk for stricturing behavior in Crohn's disease (CD). We aimed to define clinical, genomic, and functional associations with neutrophil-intrinsic GM-CSF signaling. METHODS: Missense mutations in CSF2RA, CSF2RB, JAK2, STAT5A, and STAT5B were identified using whole-exome...
