Core Tip	Tight junction proteins are key components in the regulation of paracellular permeability and therefore we considered claudin genes as candidate genes in the study. Association was identified between a single nucleotide polymorphism marker (rs12014762) in the CLDN2-MORC4 region and the occurrence of Crohn’s disease (CD) in a Swedish population. Additionally, a nonsynonymous coding single nucleotide polymorphism (rs6622126) in MORC4 was associated to CD. Our findings add further support for a genetically impaired intestinal epithelial barrier as one predisposing factor in the etiology of CD.
