Abstract

These findings support that MCP-1 -2518 G/G is associated with LN but there was no association of this genotype with renal function or renal survival. When studying CCR2 -64 V/I polymorphism we showed a positive association of the V allele with healthy controls but no association of the genotype with LN patients.
