Treatments for Crohn Disease• Antibiotics• Probiotics• Nutritional support• 5 amino-salicylates• Steroids
• Immunosupressive drugs• Antibodies against TNF
and other chemiokines (IL12, ICAM, 4integrins)
• Pig parasites

Why to discover genes?
• To make a diagnosis • Before disease occurrence (if prevention
possible) or to avoid invasive procedures (sensibiility, sensitivity).

Why to discover genes?
• To make a diagnosis • Before disease occurrence (if prevention possible) or to
avoid invasive procedures (sensibiility, sensitivity).
• To classify the disease (definition of disease subgoups)
NOD2/CARD15 mutations are associated with :
• A younger age of onset
• A more frequent ileal involvement
• An higher complication rate• Lesage et al. Am J Hum Genet 2002• Vermeire et al. Am J Hum Genet 2002• Cuthbert et al. Gastroenterology 2002
• Hampe et al. Lancet 2002• Amhad et al. Gastroenterology 2002• Abreu et al. Gastroenterology 2002• Louis E et al. Gut 2003
Why to discover genes?
• To make a diagnosis • Before disease occurrence (if prevention possible) or to
avoid invasive procedures (sensibiility, sensitivity).• To classify the disease (definition of disease subgoups)
• To develop a treatment• Gene therapy (in the future?)
• Pharmacogenetics

Interaction between TLR2 and NOD2
How CD mutations induce the inflammation?
• A defect in the innate immunity induces an excess of response by the adaptive immunity which is deleterious for the mucosa.
• CD mutations are gain of fonction mutations (Maeda S Science 2005)
• CD mutations do not inhibit pro-inflammatoy pathways (Watanabe T Nature Immunol 2004; Chen CM J Biol Chem 2004)
• CD mutations no more activate anti-inflammatory pathways (IL10) (Netea MG Eur J Immunol 2004)
