The location of CARD8 within an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) locus and its role in the NALP3 inflammasome and as a nuclear factor (NF)kappa B inhibitor make it an attractive candidate risk gene for IBD. However, studies testing for the association of the CARD8 loss-of-function single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2043211 with IBD have yielded mixed results. A recent study provided evidence that this discordance may result from an interaction of rs2043211 with loss-of-function variants in nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 2 (NOD2) and a gain-of-function SNP (rs35829419) in NALP3. To confirm this interaction, we conducted a replication in an independent IBD sample set (n = 1009 patients, n = 517 controls). We found that the presence of the minor allele of rs2043211 with the major allele of rs35829419 conferred a protective effect against Crohn's disease (and vice versa), which intensified in the absence of NOD2 mutations (P-1,P-2/1,P-1 = 0.009, odds ratio (OR) = 0.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.48-0.90); P-1,P-1/1,P-2 = 0.015, OR = 0.35, 95% CI (0.15-0.82)). We propose that these genotype combinations protect against gut inflammation by preventing the NALP3 inflammasome from producing excessive interleukin-1 beta.
