Giant cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are different but overlapping diseases of unknown etiology affecting the elderly. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) helps to regulate the immune response and maintain homeostasis during inflammatory stress. CRH promoter region polymorphisms in the 5'regulatory region of the CRH gene have been described. To investigate the possible implications of the CRH promoter polymorphisms in PMR and GCA susceptibility we have examined a series of patients with these conditions.
