ADIPOQ encodes adiponectin, a hormone released by fat tissue that participates in insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. Its name often appears in discussions of triglycerides, body composition and metabolic health.

FTO is studied in relation to body weight and energy balance. Common variants can contribute to population-level differences in obesity susceptibility, alongside many other genes and environmental factors.

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.

TNF encodes tumor necrosis factor, an immune-signaling protein involved in inflammation, host defense and regulation of cell survival. Its name should not be read as proof that a TNF result indicates cancer.

CCL11 encodes eotaxin-1, a chemokine best known for attracting eosinophils. Its receptor relationships connect it to allergic inflammation as well as broader research into immune signaling.

F5 encodes coagulation factor V. The well-characterized Factor V Leiden variant, rs6025, can make factor V less responsive to an anticoagulant control mechanism, increasing susceptibility to venous clots. It does not mean the body cannot make factor V.

TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor 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.

Explore NAFLD, NASH, MASLD, MASH, hepatitis, the IL-23/IL-17 axis, and liver inflammation.

Sometimes the question should not only be what symptoms do you have? It should also be what has your body been adapting to? At Purser Wellness, we believe better questions can lead to a more personalized understanding of wellness. Stop l

The goal is not to let your genetics define your future. It is to understand them. Because your genes may influence how your body functions, but knowledge gives you the opportunity to ask better questions, make more informed decisions, an

Explore type I interferon signaling, pain, inflammation, and questions about treatment.

Explore interleukin-18 receptor 1, IL-18, IFN-gamma, NF-kappa B, NLRP3, and related inflammation and treatment research.
