rs1634517

What is the rs1634517 variant?

rs1634517 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the CCL4 (C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (MIP-1-beta)) gene. It belongs to the Chemokine category and is part of the Chemokines biological cluster. CCL4 encodes macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta, a chemokine that attracts monocytes, NK cells, and T cells.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the CCL4 gene, which is involved in the macrophage and T cell recruitment pathway. Genes within the Chemokines cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
