Here we report an integrative analysis of an expanded number of Crohn's disease (CD) related genetic defects in innate immune function (NOD2, ATG16L1, IRGM, CARD9, XBP1, ORMDL3) and composition of the ileal microbiome by combining the initial patient cohort (Batch 1, 2005-2010, n = 165) with a second consecutive patient cohort (Batch 2, 2010-2012, n = 118). These combined patient cohorts were composed of three non-overlapping phenotypes: 1.
