GSTT1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Theta 1, GSTT
Using glutathione in conjugation
GSTT1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in con…
HDC is the gene name for Histidine Decarboxylase. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

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.
Also called: HLADQA1, Human Leukocyte Anti…
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.

…for Histamine Receptor H2. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.
Also called: Histamine Receptor H2
Histamine also connects to stomach acid

IL21 encodes a cytokine involved in regulating lymphocytes, including B-cell responses. It sits within an immune network that connects T-cell help, antibody responses and inflammatory activity.
Also called: IL-21, Interleukin 21

IL23R encodes part of the receptor that receives IL-23 signals. This connects the gene to the maintenance of Th17-related immune responses, which differ from the Th2 patterns discussed in allergy.
Also called: IL-23R, Interleukin 23 Recepto…
IL6 encodes interleukin-6, a cytokine involved in immune responses and acute-phase signaling. It can appear in discussions of infection, chronic inflammation and metabolic health, with effects that depend on the context.

KIT encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that responds to stem cell factor. It participates in blood-cell development and mast-cell biology, making the exact variant and testing context especially important.
Also called: Kit Proto-Oncogene

MAOA helps break down some chemical messengers. A gene result cannot predict a mood or behavior.
Also called: MAO-A, Monoamine Oxidase A
Neurotransmitter breakdown in context
Dr. Purser places MAOA in the neurotransmitter-breakdown part of …
