2024-07-03
Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease (CD) have a complex aetiology with alterations of both the intestinal epithelial barrier and the IL23/IL17 immune response. Here, we investigated the role of a novel mutation in the desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 2 gene ( DSG2 ) in the pathogenesis of IBD. DSG2 is known to regulate intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. Genetic analysis of a CD patient r...
