CCL17 and Crohn disease: In our study, 26 SNPs covering 12 chemokine genes (CCL2, CCL5, CCL16, CCL17, CCL21, CCL22, CCL24, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL12, and CXCL16) were selected on the basis of earlier association studies in autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes [12], pediatric Crohn's disease [14], and systemic lupus erythematosus [15].
