Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by a multifactorial etiology and a significant impact of genetic traits. While mutations represent well established risk factors of CD, the role of other genes is incompletely understood.
Aim: To challenge the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes and , two members of the C-type lectin domain family of pattern recognition receptors, may be associated with CD.
