Abstract
These results indicate that the wt/wt genotype is associated with attenuated synovial bacterial load compared with loads in wt/Î32 patients. Although no alleles other than Î32 were assessed, our data suggest that this allele provides little/no protection from ReA in patients infected with Chlamydia- but it may provide some protection in patients with UO. The basis of this possible differential effect of CCR5 genotype is under study.
