Linkage studies have identified the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)1 locus on chromosome 16 and the IBD2 locus on chromosome 12 to be involved in Crohn's disease. NOD2/CARD15 was identified as the gene of interest within the IBD1 region. However, linkage to this region could not be explained by NOD2/CARD15 alone. Here we set out to assess the association of additional candidate genes from the IBD1 and IBD2 loci with Crohn's disease using transmission disequilibrium testing in patient-parent triads. No significant association was observed with genetic variants in the genes coding for interleukin-4 receptor gene (IL-4R), CD11B and signal transducer and activator of transcription type 6 (STAT6). Results for IL-4R were not affected by exclusion of all families carrying one of three risk alleles in NOD2. From this we conclude that IL-4R and CD11B in the IBD1 region and STAT6 in the IBD2 region are not involved in Crohn's disease in this Dutch cohort.
连锁研究已确定16号染色体上的炎症性肠病(IBD)1位点和12号染色体上的IBD2位点与克罗恩病有关。NOD2/CARD15被确定为IBD1区域内的目标基因。然而,与该区域的连锁不能仅由NOD2/CARD15来解释。在此,我们着手通过对患者-父母三联体进行传递不平衡检验,评估来自IBD1和IBD2位点的其他候选基因与克罗恩病的关联。未观察到白细胞介素-4受体基因(IL-4R)、CD11B以及信号转导和转录激活因子6(STAT6)编码基因中的遗传变异存在显著关联。排除所有携带NOD2三个风险等位基因之一的家族后,IL-4R的结果未受影响。由此我们得出结论,在这个荷兰队列中,IBD1区域的IL-4R和CD11B以及IBD2区域的STAT6与克罗恩病无关。
