Subjects who had both the MCP-1 CC genotype and were heterozygotic or homozygotic for the CCR2 V64I genotype (rs1799864; n = 12) had an even higher risk of carotid atherosclerosis (odds ratio 6.14, 95% confidence interval 1.82–20.73; p = 0.0037). Conclusion: The MCP-1 rs2857656 CC genotype is independently...
