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 SLC15A1

This gene encodes an intestinal hydrogen peptide cotransporter that is a member of the solute carrier family 15. The encoded protein is localized to the brush border membrane of the intestinal epithelium and mediates the uptake of di- and tripeptides from the lumen into the enterocytes. This protein plays an important role in the uptake and digestion of dietary proteins. This protein also facilitates the absorption of numerous peptidomimetic drugs. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
