Abstract excerpt
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with the inflammatory state characterized by infiltrating macrophages/lymphocytes, a major source of cytokines and chemokines. This study examined the role of genetic polymorphisms in cytokine, IL-10, and chemokine receptors, CCR2 and CCR5, with susceptibility to ESRD. Polymorphisms in IL-10 (-1082 G/A, PCR-RFLP; -819 C/T, ARMS-PCR), CCR2 (Val/Ile, PCR-RFLP), and...
