Genetic association of CCR5 promoter single nucleotide polymorphism in seronegative and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of the CCR5 59029 A→G promoter point mutation polymorphism in determining the susceptibility to rheumatoid factor-positive and rheumatoid factor-negative rheumatoid arthritis. This polymorphism was assessed in 85 seropositive and 39 seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients and in 126 healthy individuals of the same geographic and ethnic origin. We found...
