CD14 is the gene symbol used for Cluster of Differentiation 14. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

Connections in the Purser reference

The reference groups this subject with: Immune regulation, Inflammation. These are teaching connections, not a diagnosis or a measured effect in your body.

Understanding a result

A gene name is not a test result. Interpretation needs the exact variant, genotype, test method, clinical classification, symptoms and family history. Research associations and common SNPs should not be treated as proven disease-causing findings.

Nutrients and next steps

A genetic marker does not establish a nutrient deficiency or a supplement dose. Bring the original laboratory report to your clinician and compare it with relevant nutritional and clinical findings.

Questions for your visit

Is this a common marker, a pathogenic variant, or an uncertain finding? Does it change my care? Would confirmation or genetic counseling be useful?

Variant IDs in the source reference

These identifiers help you find the associated teaching. Their inclusion is not verification of a gene–variant mapping, disease classification or treatment implication. Use your laboratory’s exact result and a current clinical interpretation.
