Let’s explore “Limited systemic sclerosis and cytokines”

Learn how this teaching connects shoulder and hip stiffness with immune signals.

Follow Dr. Purser’s discussion of folate metabolism and inflammation.

Lichen planus can affect skin, mouth, nails, and other surfaces.

This variant is in a regulatory region of the TNF gene.

This TNF promoter variant appears in Dr. Purser’s discussion of inflammatory signaling.

This inflammatory condition affects the esophagus.

Dr. Purser discusses interleukins and oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis lung disease.

Coming soon: the DRP Genetic Cytokine Panel. This panel looks at 90 different cytokine gene SNPs. If even one of those SNPs is homozygous, it can drive major inflammatory issues that never fully settle with standard care. If you have unex

FOLR2 encodes folate receptor beta, a folate-binding protein expressed in particular cell types, including subsets of immune cells. It is distinct from the FOLR1 receptor and the SLC19A1 reduced folate carrier.

HLA-DQA1 contributes to an HLA-DQ protein that presents antigen fragments to CD4 T cells. HLA-DQ function depends on pairing with an HLA-DQB chain, so an isolated marker is not a complete HLA type.

HLA-DQA2 is part of the HLA class II region involved in immune recognition. It should not be treated as interchangeable with HLA-DQA1 or as a measurement of how well the immune system fights infections.
