▶CCL8/MCP-2 association analysis in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal lobar degenerationAssociationN=659Chiara Villa et al.(2009)· Journal of Neurology
Case-control association study investigating CCL8/MCP-2 rs1133763 (an amino acid substitution variant) in 219 Alzheimer's disease patients, 209 frontotemporal lobar degeneration patients, and 231 age-matched controls. The study found no significant difference in rs1133763 allele or genotype distribution between patients and controls, suggesting this variant does not influence susceptibility to AD or FTLD in Caucasians.
About CCL8
This antimicrobial gene is one of several chemokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines form a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine is a member of the CC subfamily which is characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. By recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation this cytokine may contribute to tumor-associated leukocyte infiltration and to the antiviral state against HIV infection.
