Core Tip	Knowledge of the pathophysiology of Crohn’s disease (CD) is vital in the development of new diagnosis techniques and treatments for the disease. Our study involves the investigation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 and 22 (PTPN2/22) and their effects on susceptibility to mycobacteria species and the elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our data demonstrates that SNPs in PTPN2/22 lead to less negative regulation in T-cells and increase susceptibility to mycobacteria, thus increasing inflammation and apoptosis in intestinal tissues. Personalized treatment could be accomplished by genetic testing and antibiotic treatment for mycobacteria in CD patients.
