Let’s explore “Uveitis and immune pathways”

IL18 encodes interleukin-18, a cytokine that can promote interferon-gamma responses in the appropriate immune context. Its receptor includes components encoded by IL18R1 and IL18RAP.

IL2RA encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, also called CD25. It is involved in immune activation and regulatory T-cell biology; a soluble receptor measurement is distinct from a DNA result.

IL33 encodes interleukin-33, a signal that can act as an alarmin during tissue stress and promote type 2 immune responses. It belongs in a different functional group from chemokines that recruit cells.

IL6R encodes the interleukin-6 receptor. Membrane-bound and soluble receptor pathways help explain why IL-6 biology involves more than the amount of cytokine in a single blood sample.

TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis.

TNFRSF10A encodes death receptor 4, or DR4, a receptor that can receive the TRAIL signal and participate in regulated cell-death pathways. TRAIL itself is encoded by TNFSF10.

Refers to part of the HLA immune-recognition region, rather than one gene. HLA typing requires more detail than a broad region label.

Explore folate, vitamin B9, one-carbon metabolism, anemia, homocysteine, SLC19A1, and differences between folate forms and transport pathways.

Explore multiple sclerosis (MS), central nervous system inflammation, myelin, symptoms, and related immune signals.

Explore motor and vocal tics, brain circuits, dopamine, GABA, histamine pathways, behavioral therapies, and treatment and outlook.

Explore dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), nitric oxide, blood vessels, and related blood-vessel pathways.

Explore rs2910397, rs2637125, steroid sulfation, DHEA, DHEAS, bile acids, and hormone and liver pathways.
