Conclusion. According to literature data analysis it is possible to conclude that there are clear populationrelated features of the prevalence, clinical and diagnostic role of NOD2 genetic polymorphism associated to Crohn's disease that requires development of the international data bank of all genetic nucleotide polymorphisms associated to various stages of CD pathogenesis in different countries and populations. …”
