Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The attraction of leukocytes to tissues is essential for inflammation and the initiation of the autoimmune reaction. The process is controlled by chemokines, which are chemotactic cytokines. We investigated whether human chemokine receptor gene polymorphisms, namely CCR5-Delta32 and CCR2-64I, are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune Addison's disease. Genotyping was performed in 56 patients and 127 healthy controls by a new method using pyrosequencing for CCR2-64I and by polymerase chain reaction and detecting gel for CCR5-Delta32. None of the CCR2 or CCR5 alleles was found to be associated, either positively or negatively, with disease risk. Our results indicate that the CCR2-64I and CCR5-Delta32 gene polymorphisms do not play a major role in conferring genetic risk for, and/or protection against, autoimmune Addison's disease.
