Description of the variants analysed in the genetic test

Risk of hyperinflammation
Gene Polymorphism Patient’s alleles Comments Reference
1. TNF rs1799724 CT Allele T: related to increased levels of TNFα Mlak et al20
2. TNF rs1800693 CC Allele C: related to the higher incidence of inflammatory diseases De Jager et al21
3. IL-6 rs1800795 CG G allele: related to increased levels of IL-6 Tartter et al22
4. IL-6 rs1800796 GG G allele: related to increased levels of IL-6 Bull et al23

Some variants are related to the increased risk of inflammation. The numbering alleles 1, 2, 3 and 4 showed higher risk of inflammation.

IL, interleukin; TNFα, tumour necrosis factor alpha.
