constitutional     --over  
of CCL5 and median chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) mRNA expression in localized scleroderma lesions as compared to healthy controls
constitutional     --over  
in both serum and synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis
tumoral     --over  
in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and CCL5 levels positively correlated with features of disease aggressiveness such as elevated IgM levels and bone marrow involvement
Susceptibility
  • to emphysema in COPD
  • to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB)
  • to Kawasaki disease (KD)
  • to oral cancer
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • increasing the risk of emphysema in COPD
  • SNPs in CCL5-28 and -403 genes could increase the risk to have oral cancer
  • haplotype A-C-C and the diplotype G/A-T/C may be associated with resistance to PTB
  • CCL5 -403A variant may be associated with coronary involvement in KD
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • may serve as a useful marker of rheumatoid arthritis activity
  • CCR5 and CCL5 are potential markers for metastatic Pancreatic cancer (PC) cancer
  • Therapy target
