## Background: Both antibodies to saccharomyces cerevisiae (asca) and carriage of two mutated nod2/card15 alleles are associated with ileal crohn's disease (cd) and complications requiring bowel surgery. we assessed the asca titer as a marker of cd clinical behavior. ## Methods: In a cross-sectio
Background: Antibodies directed against Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA), perinuclear components of neutrophils (pANCA), and porin protein C of Escherichia coli (anti-OmpC) are reported to be associated with disease phenotype and may be of diagnostic importance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Si
