Functional polymorphisms of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 gene and Pott's disease risk.

Objective: Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2), a key player in immune-mediated responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is encoded by a polymorphic gene. Functionally relevant polymorphic variations in the MCP-1 gene have been associated with both susceptibility to and protection against tuberculosis-related disorders. Here, we investigated the potential impact of some of these polymorphisms on Pott's disease risk in a patient cohort from Algeria.
