| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright 2001 Academic Press. The gene encoding chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is colocalized to the microsatellite marker D3S1573, which was linked with inflammatory bowel disease. Genetic heterogeneity in inflammatory bowel disease might be defined by a combination of the p-ANCA status and immunoregulatory genes. One hundred and twenty healthy unrelated controls, 101 patients with Crohn's disease, and 99 patients with ulcerative colitis were genotyped for the Delta 32 mutation of the CCR5 gene. The presence of p-ANCA was determined by the use of indirect immunofluorescence. After genotyping, patients were stratified according to p-ANCA status. The frequency of the Delta 32 mutation was not significantly different in controls and patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (P 0.207 or more). Moreover, the frequency of the mutation was not significantly different in patients with inflammatory bowel disease after stratification for the p-ANCA status (P 0.482). Regardless of the p-ANCA status, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are not associated with the Delta 32 mutation of the CCR5 gene |
