DMBT1 confers mucosal protection in vivo and a deletion variant is associated with Crohn's disease (2007)

Renner, Marcus, Bergmann, Gaby, Krebs, Inge, End, Caroline, Lyer, Stefan, Hilberg, Frank, ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Impaired mucosal defense plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD), one of the main subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Deleted in malignant...

Prevalence of CARD15/NOD2 mutations in Caucasian healthy people (2007)

Zaccaria, Isabelle, Cavanaugh, Juleen, Yang, Huiying, Lappalainen, Maarit, ...

BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) has been associated with CARD15/NOD2 mutations in Caucasians. The R702W, G908R, and 1007fs mutations represent 82% of the mutated chromosomes. The relative risk of...

The IBD international genetics consortium provides further evidence for linkage to IBD4 and shows gene-environment interaction (2005)

Yang, Huiying, Barmada, Michael M, Cavanaugh, Juleen A, Annese, Vito, Brant, Steven R, ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis are complex disorders with an important genetic determinant. One gene associated with CD has...

Randomized Controlled Trial of Botulinum Toxin Versus Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia

Zaninotto, Giovanni, Annese, Vito, Costantini, Mario, Del Genio, Alberto, Costantino, Michela, Epifani, Magdalena, ...

Eighty patients suffering from achalasia underwent either laparoscopic myotomy or botulinum toxin injections. After 2 years, 86.5% of patients were symptom free after myotomy by comparison with 42%...

Enteropathic spondyloarthropathy: A common genetic background with inflammatory bowel disease?

Colombo, Elisabetta, Latiano, Anna, Palmieri, Orazio, Bossa, Fabrizio, Andriulli, Angelo, Annese, Vito

The association between spondyloarthropathy and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is largely established, although prevalence is variable because of different population selection and diagnostic...

Replication of interleukin 23 receptor and autophagy-related 16-like 1 association in adult- and pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease in Italy

Latiano, Anna, Palmieri, Orazio, Valvano, Maria Rosa, D’Incà, Renata, Cucchiara, Salvatore, Riegler, Gabriele, ...

AIM: To investigate gene variants in a large Italian inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort, and to analyze the correlation of sub-phenotypes (including age at diagnosis) and epistatic interaction...

Diverse Genome-wide Association Studies Associate the IL12/IL23 Pathway with Crohn Disease

Wang, Kai, Zhang, Haitao, Kugathasan, Subra, Annese, Vito, Bradfield, Jonathan P., Russell, Richard K., ...

Previous genome-wide association (GWA) studies typically focus on single-locus analysis, which may not have the power to detect the majority of genuinely associated loci. Here, we applied pathway...
