Genome-wide analysis of polymorphisms associated with cytokine responses in smallpox vaccine recipients
AssociationN=1,000Kennedy RB et al.(2012)· Human Genetics

Genome-wide association study identifying SNPs associated with cytokine responses to vaccinia virus in 1,000 smallpox vaccine recipients. Multiple SNPs achieved genome-wide significance (p<5×10⁻⁷) for Th1 cytokines (IL-2, TNFα, IL-12p40) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IFNα, IL-6). Notable findings include rs16948200 in NGFR (12-fold difference in IL-2 secretion between genotypes), rs4251424 in IRAK4 (associated with TNFα), and rs2255327 in BLK (2-fold higher IL-6 in heterozygotes).

About SGK1

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays an important role in cellular stress response. This kinase activates certain potassium, sodium, and chloride channels, suggesting an involvement in the regulation of processes such as cell survival, neuronal excitability, and renal sodium excretion. High levels of expression of this gene may contribute to conditions such as hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
