Representation of the NOD2 domain structure and the position of the polymorphisms associated with Crohn's disease. The numbers represent the amino acid positions. The C insertion at nucleotide 3020 causes a Leu1007Pro amino acid change followed by a stop codon. CARD, caspase recruitment domain; NBD, nucleotide binding domain; LRR, leucine rich repeat.
