## Abstract Epidemiological observations suggest that cancer arises from chronically inflamed tissues. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a typical example since patients with longstanding IBD are at increased risk for development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, genetic factors predisposing
## Background: Three mutations (r702w, g908r, and 1007fs) of the card15/nod2 gene associate with crohn's disease (cd). despite a strong linkage of cd to the inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) 1 region, only 16% of the finnish cd patients carry 1 of these 3 mutations, pointing to the possibility of ye
## Background: Mutations in the gene encoding the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (nod2) protein are associated with crohn's disease (cd), but the mechanism underlying this is not completely understood. to study the mechanism of cd resulting from nod2 mutations, we analyzed nod2-depende
## Conclusions: TLR 4 A299G appears to be a significant risk factor for CD, in particular colonic, nonstricturing disease. Furthermore, we identified a novel NOD2 haplotype that strengthens the relationship between TLR4 A299G and these phenotypes.
