A frameshift mutation in NOD2 associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease

TL;DR: It is shown that a frameshift mutation caused by a cytosine insertion, 3020insC, which is expected to encode a truncated NOD2 protein, is associated with Crohn's disease, and a link between an innate immune response to bacterial components and development of disease is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nod2-dependent regulation of innate and adaptive immunity in the intestinal tract.

TL;DR: It is shown that protective immunity mediated by Nod2 recognition of bacterial muramyl dipeptide is abolished in Nod1-deficient mice, providing a possible mechanism for Nod 2 mutations in CD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host Recognition of Bacterial Muramyl Dipeptide Mediated through NOD2 IMPLICATIONS FOR CROHN′S DISEASE

TL;DR: NOD2 mediates the host response to bacterial muropeptides derived from peptidoglycan, an activity that is important for protection against Crohn's disease and has implications for understanding adjuvant function and effective vaccine development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nod2, a Nod1/Apaf-1 Family Member That Is Restricted to Monocytes and Activates NF-κB *

TL;DR: A subfamily of Apaf-1-like proteins that function through RICK to activate a NF-κB signaling pathway is defined, which contains a caspase recruitment domain linked to a nucleotide-binding domain and multiple C-terminal leucine-rich repeats.
