As far as the genotype-phenotype correlations are concerned, by multivariate conditional logistic regression methods, we found a significant association between Gly908Arg mutations and familial history of inflammatory bowel disease, between Leu1007fsinsC mutations and appendectomy and between Arg702Trp mutations and fibrostenotic phenotype of Crohn's disease.
Our aim was to evaluate the allele frequencies of the CARD15 variants R702W, G908R, and 1007fs in Finnish inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and to search for possible associations between CARD15 variants and occurrence of familial forms of IBD or complicated forms of CD.
