Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a highly specific chemokine for monocytes and plays roles in pathogenesis of various renal diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of MCP1 2518 A/G polymorphism on the incidence and clinical course of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in children. MCP1 2518 A/G genotype was identified by PCR-RFLP in 60 biopsy-proven FSGS patients, 76 steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) patients, and 96 healthy children. MCP-1 levels in urine and serum were measured by ELISA in all patients and the correlations of genotype with MCP-1 levels and clinical outcome were evaluated. The genotype frequencies for MCP1 were similar in all groups. The percentage of patients who develop chronic renal failure was higher in patients with AA allele compared to GA or GG alleles (46% vs. 35% respectively, p
