Autophagy in Paediatric Crohn's Disease

Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Crohn's disease is a multifactorial complex disease resulting in a between microbiota and immune system. Indeed, GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies) association study pinpointed polymorphisms as genes susceptibility on more than 200 loci. Among them genes coding for proteins involved in autophagy machinery (i.e: ATG16L1, IRGM et NDP52). Autophagy is a ubiquitous intracellular mechanism mandatory for protein and microorganism recycling. So far, the role of autophagy in gut inflammation and intestinal homeostasis in Crohn's disease patients is partially understand. Then, investigators plan to evaluate, on native cells, the autophagic flux in pediatric patients suffering of a Crohn's disease compare to controls.
