RAD50 encodes a DNA-repair protein. The surrounding genomic region also contains regulatory elements relevant to the nearby IL4, IL5 and IL13 cluster, so a locus association can concern more than the coding function of one gene. Also called…

…or beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis. Also called: Repair signals can also promote scarring TG…

…urser connects the pieces Dr. Purser places the TRAIL/DR4 pair in teaching about tissue loss during inflammatory flares. This is a pathway explanation, not a way to infer ongoing cell death from a common SNP. The affected tissue and actual …
