IQCG
Inflammatory Quality Control Gene (IQCG)
Description:
Inflammatory quality control gene (IQCG) is a crucial gene involved in maintaining immune homeostasis and regulating inflammatory responses. It encodes a protein called IQCG, which plays a vital role in the clearance of apoptotic cells and the prevention of excessive inflammation.
Associated Diseases:
Dysregulation of IQCG has been linked to several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including:
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Psoriasis
Did you Know ?
In individuals with SLE, IQCG gene variants have been associated with a significantly increased risk of disease severity and organ damage.
