title: The -2518A/G polymorphism in the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene and diabetes risk: a meta-analysis.
abstract: We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between the -2518A/G polymorphism in the MCP-1 gene and the risk of diabetes. Ten case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results indicated this polymorphism may be a risk factor for diabetes in Caucasians. Future studies are needed to validate our conclusions.
