Abstract

Mutations in the NOD2 gene are strongly associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). We analyzed a large cohort of European patients with inflammatory bowel disease to determine which mutations confer susceptibility, the degree of risk conferred, their prevalence in familial and sporadic forms of the disease, and whether they are associated with site of disease.
