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.
