Common polymorphisms of protein tyrosine phosphate non-receptor type 2 gene are not associated with risk of Crohn's disease in Indian.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple genetic risk factors for Crohn's disease (CD) have been identified. However, these observations are not consistent across different populations. The protein tyrosine phosphate non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) gene plays a role in various aspects of host defense including epithelial barrier function, autophagy, and innate and adaptive immune response. Two common polymorphisms in the PTPN2 gene (rs2542151 and rs7234029) have been associated with risk of CD in Western countries.

Aim

To evaluate the association of PTPN2 gene polymorphisms with risk of CD in Indian population.

Methods

We conducted a prospective case-control study. Patients with CD were recruited, and their clinical and investigation details were noted. Controls were pati
