Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disorder that results from a dysregulated mucosal immune response to symbiotic bacteria in genetically susceptible individuals. While genetic predispositions to CD have been well documented, the overall contribution of genetic factors to disease development remains unclear. Indeed, abnormal interactions between microbes and the immune system have been identified as the core defect leading to chronic intestinal inflammation. We used a “multi-hit” genetic approach to study the complex interplay between host immunity and microbes in the context of CD.
