GlossaryInflammatory Genes

segments of DNA that regulate the body's inflammatory response

Inflammatory genes are segments of DNA that encode proteins involved in the body's inflammatory response, which is the immune system's reaction to injury or infection. These genes regulate the production of cytokines, chemokines, and other molecules that help control inflammation, and their activity can influence conditions like autoimmune diseases, allergies, and chronic inflammatory disorders.
