Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is an idiopathic inflammatory condition characterized by upper and lower airway involvement and often renal dysfunction. Sites of tissue injury include pleomorphic cell populations, and classically mononuclear cell infiltrates that may form granulomas. Vascular inflammation (i.e., vasculitis) is often but not always present. Because CCR5 and its ligands influence mononuclear cell trafficking, we sought to identify their expression in pulmonary lesions and to determine whether genetic variations in genes for CCR5 and its ligands influence susceptibility to WG.
