The practitioner course places GSTP1 in the glutathione transferase family.

HDC is the gene symbol used for Histidine Decarboxylase. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

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.

HRH1 is the gene symbol used for Histamine Receptor H1. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

HRH2 is the gene symbol used for Histamine Receptor H2. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.

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.

Makes an enzyme that helps produce a form of folate used in the processing of homocysteine. Common variants are different from rare variants that cause severe MTHFR deficiency.

Makes an enzyme involved in producing phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes. Genetic findings alone do not establish a choline deficiency.
