“Recent studies suggest a role for the endocannabinoid system, including fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), in intestinal inflammation.
AIM:
To analyse FAAH expression and the FAAH 385 C/A (p.Pro129Thr; rs324420) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in-patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
CONCLUSION:
The FAAH p.Pro129Thr polymorphism may modulate the CD phenotype.”
