Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the frequency of NOD2/CARD15 gene mutations in Moroccan patients with Crohn's disease, finding a 13.77% mutation rate compared to 6.53% in a control group of 107 patients.
- - Three specific NOD2 gene variants (p.Arg702Trp, p.Gly908Arg, p.Leu1007fsins) were analyzed, revealing the most common mutation was p.Gly908Arg at 6.43% among patients.
- - The research concluded that NOD2/CARD15 mutations are linked to more severe features of Crohn's disease, like ileocecal involvement and higher surgery and medication needs, even though the overall prevalence of mutations
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease which may involve many organs. In approximately 95% of patients there is liver involvement, with noncaseating hepatic granulomas occurring in 21 to 99% of patients with sarcoidosis. Liver involvement is usually asymptomatic and limited to mild to moderate abnormalities in liver biochemistry.
