Lack of association between the chemokine receptor 5 polymorphism CCR5delta32 in rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Abstract: Background: The chemokine receptor CCR5 has been detected at elevated levels on synovial T cells, and a 32 bp deletion in the CCR5 gene leads to a non-functional receptor. A negative association between the CCR5∆32 and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported, although with conflicting results. In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), an association with CCR5 was recently reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the CCR5∆32 polymorphism is associated with RA or JIA in Norwegian cohorts.

“…Contradictory results have been observed. Lindner et al did not show any association (in a Norwegian population) and Scheibel et al found an association (in a Brazilian population) between this polymorphism and JIA (27,28). When we compared the allele frequencies of our study with these two studies, we recognized that the allele frequencies are different in various populations (in Brazilian, Norwegian, and Turkish populations, delta32 allele frequency in JIA, respectively, is 9.4%, 9.7%, and 3%; in control groups, respectively, is 3.8%, 11.4%, and 2%).…”

“…These authors also performed a meta-analysis of three studies including .2000 patients and confirmed the protective effect of the polymorphism. One of the studies included in this meta-analysis, however, failed to independently show an association of D32 with JIA (Lindner et al, 2007). Another recent small study showed no correlation of the D32 polymorphism with either the incidence of RA or SLE or disease severity in these patients (Martens et al, 2010).…”

“…23 A protective effect of CCR5-D32 has also been reported for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis 24 although conflicting results exist. 25 A correlation between the CCR5-D32 and copy number variation within the CCL3L1 gene has been found to enhance HIV/AIDS susceptibility, 26 as well as increase the risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus. 27 Our results did not support rs333 as the primary causal polymorphism within the CCR1/CCR3/CCR2 gene region.…”
