Deleterious Genetic Variation Across the NOD Signaling Pathway Is Associated With Reduced NFKB Signaling Transcription and Upregulation of Alternative Inflammatory Transcripts in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease may arise with inadequate immune response to intestinal bacteria. NOD2 is an established gene in Crohn's disease pathogenesis, with deleterious variation associated with reduced NFKB signaling. We hypothesized that deleterious variation across the NOD2 signaling pathway impacts on transcription. METHODS: Treatment-naïve pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients had ileal...
