Abstract
⺠Obesity is associated with a chronic low inflammatory state. ⺠Genetic factors associated with obesity are also associated with serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels. ⺠A GWAS in obese Hispanic children showed strong association between DARC gene and serum MCP-1 levels. ⺠Serum MCP-1 concentration was also significantly associated with CCR3 and CARD9 genes. ⺠The association of DARC with serum MCP-1 levels replicates previous GWAS results.
