MCP-1 rs1024611 (-2518 A > G) polymorphism can affect the transcriptional activity of MCP-1 and is related to the susceptibility of diabetic foot ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and sepsis.[10,15–17] However, the relationship between MCP-1 gene polymorphism and diabetes with sepsis is still unclear. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and diabetes mellitus.
