The frequency of gene combination KIR2DL5B(+)/KIR2DL5A(-) was significantly higher in the disease group, and this result was confirmed in a second group of 343 CD patients and 160 controls of Spanish origin, suggesting an implication of this 'unexpressed' gene with increased susceptibility to CD (combined OR of 3.63 (95% CI: 1.76-7.51; P=0.0004)), possibly due to the lack of an efficient inhibitory signal.
