Chemokine C-C motif ligand 4 (<i>CCL4</i>) gene is a chemokine-encoding gene, and the polymorphism of <i>CCL4</i> gene has been shown to predict risk of various diseases. We want to investigate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the <i>CCL4</i> gene can predict the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Between 2007 and 2015, we recruited 217 patients diagnosed with RA and 371 control participants. Comparative genotyping of the rs1634507, rs10491121, and rs1719153 SNPs was perform ...[more]
