P01-033 – Co-occurance of Crohn’s disease and FMF

چکیده
Introduction There is an increased prevalence of Crohn’s disease (CD) in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Previous studies found that neither MEFV, nor NOD2/CARD15 may serve as susceptible genes, leading to FMF-CD comorbidity. In addition to NOD2/CARD15 polymorphism, ATG16L1 and IL-23R gene SNPs were also found to predispose to Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of these genes in the occurrence of FMF-CD is currently unknown.
