Genetic basis for increased intestinal permeability in families with Crohn's disease: role of CARD15 3020insC mutation?

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIMS A genetically impaired intestinal barrier function has long been suspected to be a predisposing factor for Crohn's disease (CD). Recently, mutations of the capsase recruitment domain family, member 15 (CARD15) gene have been identified and associated with CD. We hypothesise that a CARD15 mutation may be associated with an impaired intestinal barrier. METHODS We studied 128 patients with quiescent CD, 129 first degree relatives (CD-R), 66 non-related household members (CD-NR), and 96 healthy controls. The three most common CARD15 polymorphisms (R702W, G908R, and 3020insC) were analysed and intestinal permeability was determined by the lactulose/mannitol ratio. RESULTS Intestinal permeability was significantly increased in CD and CD-R groups compared with CD-NR and controls. Values above the normal range were seen in 44% of CD and 26% of CD-R but only in 6% of CD-NR, and in none of the controls. A household community with CD patients, representing a common environment, was not associated with increased intestinal permeability in family members. However, 40% of CD first degree relatives carrying a CARD15 3020insC mutation and 75% (3/4) of those CD-R with combined 3020insC and R702W mutations had increased intestinal permeability compared with only 15% of wild-types, indicating a genetic influence on barrier function. R702W and G908R mutations were not associated with high permeability. CONCLUSIONS In healthy first degree relatives, high mucosal permeability is associated with the presence of a CARD15 3020insC mutation. This indicates that genetic factors may be involved in impairment of intestinal barrier function in families with IBD.

متن کاملCARD15/NOD2 analysis in rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility.
OBJECTIVE To determine if the mutations in the CARD15/NOD2 gene predisposing to Crohn's disease (CD) contribute also to the genetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS The frequencies of the three commonest mutations of CARD15/NOD2 predisposing to CD (2104C > T, 2722G>C and 3020insC) were determined in 210 RA patients and 227 controls. RESULTS Allelic frequencies of the CAR...
متن کاملThe three most common CARD15 mutations associated with Crohn's disease and the chromosome 16 susceptibility locus for systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVE To test if the three most common mutations contributing to Crohn's disease on the CARD15/NOD2 gene could contribute also to genetic susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which has been found to be linked to the region of chromosome 16q13 where the CARD15 gene is located. METHODS We obtained DNA samples from the blood of 189 SLE patients (according to the American Col...

OBJECTIVE There are many extra-intestinal findings of Crohn's disease (CD), such as oral and genital ulcers, erythema nodosum, uveitis and arthritis, resembling the manifestations of Behçet's disease (BD). It is also very difficult to distinguish the gastrointestinal involvement of BD from that of CD in some patients. Hence, this study aimed to investigate a possible involvement of the common C...
متن کاملThe IBD6 Crohn's disease locus demonstrates complex interactions with CARD15 and IBD5 disease-associated variants.
Genetic studies in inflammatory bowel disease have identified multiple susceptibility loci, whose relevance depends critically on verification in independent cohorts. Genetic variants associated with Crohn's disease have now been identified on chromosomes 5 (IBD5/5q31 risk haplotype) and 16 (IBD1 locus, CARD15/NOD2 mutations). Stratification of genome-wide linkage analyses by disease associated...
