We hypothesized that sarcoidosis, or one of the disease subsets, could be associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms of C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) gene. Eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CCR2 were studied in a total of 304 Dutch individuals (90 non-Lo\u0308fgren sarcoidosis, 47 Lo\u0308fgren's syndrome, 167 control subjects). From the investigated CCR2 polymorphisms, nine haplotypes were deduced (haplotypes 1\u20139). In patients with Lo\u0308fgren's syndrome, a strongly significant increase in the frequency of CCR2-haplotype 2, which includes four unique alleles (A at nucleotide position \u20136752, A at 3,000, T at 3,547, and T at 4,385), was observed compared with control subjects (74% vs. 38% respectively, p &amp;lt; 0.0001), whereas no difference was found between non-Lo\u0308fgren sarcoidosis and control subjects (both 38%). The association between CCR2-haplotype 2 carriage frequency and Lo\u0308fgren's syndrome (odds ratio, 4.4; p &amp;lt; 0.0001) remained significant after adjustment for human leukocyte antigen haplotype DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 (odds ratio, 11.5; p &amp;lt; 0.0001) and female sex (odds ratio, 3.2; p = 0.003), two known risk factors for Lo\u0308fgren's syndrome. In conclusion, this report describes a strong association between CCR2-haplotype 2 and Lo\u0308fgren's syndrome. Further studies are needed to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this association.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200303-456oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,28]],"date-time":"2003-07-28T20:27:29Z","timestamp":1059424049000},"page":"1162-1166","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":81,"title":["C-C Chemokine Receptor 2 and Sarcoidosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"168","author":[{"given":"Paolo","family":"Spagnolo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genomics Group, Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, National Heart and Lung Institute, London, United Kingdom;
