INVS
Description
The INVS gene, encodes the protein INVS, an essential component of the immune system. It plays a crucial role in the activation and regulation of immune cells, particularly lymphocytes. INVS is involved in the signaling pathways that govern immune responses, ensuring appropriate and controlled reactions to foreign invaders. Mutations in the INVS gene can lead to immune system dysfunction, increasing susceptibility to various diseases.

- Autoimmune diseases: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Immunodeficiency disorders: Primary immunodeficiency diseases, recurrent infections
Did you know?
INVS is a highly conserved gene, meaning its sequence is very similar across different species, highlighting its fundamental importance in immune function.
