OBJECTIVE: To examine genetic polymorphisms in the chemokine pathway, and to assess their interactions in relation to susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS: To identify the risk of SSc conferred by genetic polymorphisms in the chemokine pathway, 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 8 candidate genes were studied in 99 patients with SSc and 198 age- and sex-matched controls in a Korean...
