Abstract
Non-caseating granulomas are a hallmark histopathological finding of Crohn’s disease (CD). Studies have suggested that the presence of granulomas may indicate a more aggressive CD phenotype associated with a complicated clinical course, including stricturing and/or penetrating disease, need for biologic therapy, and need for surgery. As such, identification of genetic associations of granulomatous CD (GCD) may help elucidate disease pathogenesis, which in turn may optimize treatments and guide novel therapeutics to combat CD complications.
