The monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) promoter -2518 A/G polymorphism has been reported inconsistently to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN). The aim of this study was to explore whether the MCP-1 polymorphism confers susceptibility to SLE or LN. We surveyed studies on the MCP-1 polymorphism and SLE or LN identified by MEDLINE or manual searches. Meta-analysis was conducted on the AA genotype (recessive effect), AA, and AG genotypes (dominant effect), AA versus GG (genotype contrast), and on the A allele of MCP-1 in SLE and LN in each ethnic population studied and on all subjects. Ten studies, which included 1,739 SLE patients and 1,680 controls, were included in our meta-analysis. These consisted of two European, six Asian, one Latin American, and one mixed study. We did not find any association between the MCP-1 -2518 A/G polymorphism and SLE in all subjects or in ethnic groups. Meta-analysis also failed to reveal an association between the MCP-1 -2518 A/G polymorphisms and LN. This meta-analysis on 3419 subjects indicates that no association exists between the MCP-1 -2518 A/G polymorphism and SLE or LN.

Purpose: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a member of the CC chemokine family, and the MCP-1 2518 A/G gene polymorphism is reported to be correlated with chronic inflammatory diseases, including insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. However, few studies have investigated the association between MCP-1 gene polymorphisms and obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a retrospective case-control study and evaluated the association between the MCP-1 2518 A/G polymorphism and obesity in Korean patients with T2DM.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential association between polymorphisms in monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2), type 5 (CCR5), regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed, and secreted (RANTES) and susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant articles, and a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the associations between the MCP-1 -2518 G/A, CCR2 V64I, CCR5-Δ32, RANTES - 405 G/A, -28 G/A polymorphisms and the risk of PD.
Results: Six studies with 1,416 patients with PD and 1,715 controls that met the inclusion criteria were identified.

Department of AYUSH, Govt. of NCT of Delhi, New Delhi, India.
Background: Even though several initiatives have been undertaken in different locations worldwide to collect clinical data in homeopathy, it is important to further investigate these aspects in the context of health care in India.
Objective: The study aimed to gather and analyze patients' clinical data and to derive insights into homeopathic treatment using an internet-based software program for data storage, retrieval and repertorization.
Methods: A multi-center observational study was conducted across 14 homeopathy outpatient clinics in India that are affiliated with the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH).

Background: C-C motif chemokine ligand 2, a gene that codes for a protein involved in inflammation. Certain SNPs in the CCL2 gene have been studied for their potential associations with susceptibility to various diseases. These SNPs may affect the production and function of the CCL2 protein, which is involved in the recruitment of immune cells to the site of inflammation.
