Abstract
Objective. Frequent genetic variants may be associated with GCA. Existing studies have analysed a limited number of candidate genes and genetic variants. To expand this information, we performed a case–control study genotyping 130 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 82 biopsy-proven GCA patients and 166 healthy controls from the Spanish population. Methods. SNPs in coding and regulatory gene regions of 14 candidate genes (CCL2, CCR7, IL10,...
