Crohn's disease is a multifactorial complex disease resulting in a between microbiota and immune system. Indeed, GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies) association study pinpointed polymorphisms as genes susceptibility on more than 200 loci. Among them genes coding for proteins involved in autophagy machinery (i.e: ATG16L1, IRGM et NDP52). Autophagy is a ubiquitous intracellular mechanism mandatory for protein and microorganism recycling. So far, the role of autophagy in gut inflammation and intestinal homeostasis in Crohn's disease patients is partially understand. Then, investigators plan to evaluate, on native cells, the autophagic flux in pediatric patients suffering of a Crohn's disease compare to controls.

Quantification of autophagic flux by western blot.
LC3II/LC3I will be measured by western blot after booking the autophagic flux at different time point.
Time frame: 1 day (during hospitalization for ileocolonoscopy)
Incidence of autophagic polymorphisms in pediatric Crohn's disease population
DNA sequencing of polymorphisms reported in the literature as gene mutations susceptibility for Crohn's disease.
Time frame: 1 day (during hospitalization for ileocolonoscopy)
