This profile identifies the polymorphisms on genes that modulate immune and inflammatory activity which affect the levels and activity of the cytokines. These variations can reveal potential defects in immune system defence as well as uncover and the mechanisms leading to chronic, overactive inflammatory responses.
This panel may uncover potential genetic susceptibility to:
- Allergies and asthma
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Bone inflammation
- Certain Cancers
- Heart Disease
- Helicobacter pylori infection
- Infectious Diseases
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Osteopenia
- Viral infections
What is being measured
- IL-1B (Interleukin-1 beta)
- IL-4 (Interleukin-4)
- IL-6 (Interleukin-6)
- IL-10 (Interleukin-10)
- IL-13 (Interleukin-13)
- TNF-a (Tumor necrosis factor-alpha)
