Rubella vaccine-induced cellular immunity: evidence of associations with polymorphisms in the Toll-like, vitamin A and D receptors, and innate immune response genes
AssociationN=714Inna G. Ovsyannikova et al.(2010)· Human Genetics

A candidate gene association study of 714 healthy children examined associations between 148 SNPs in innate immunity genes (TLR, vitamin A and D receptors, RIG-I pathway, TRIM factors) and rubella vaccine-induced cytokine responses. Twenty-two significant associations (P = 0.002–0.048) were found, including rs3740996 (His43Tyr) and rs10838525 (Gln136Arg) in TRIM5 with TNFα and IL-2/GM-CSF responses, and rs5743305 in TLR3 with GM-CSF secretion.

About RXRA

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are nuclear receptors that mediate the biological effects of retinoids by their involvement in retinoic acid-mediated gene activation. These receptors function as transcription factors by binding as homodimers or heterodimers to specific sequences in the promoters of target genes. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
