rs10071552

What is the rs10071552 variant?

rs10071552 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the MET (MET Proto-Oncogene Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (HGFR)) gene. It belongs to the Signaling category and is part of the Respiratory & Lung Function biological cluster. MET encodes the HGF receptor (c-Met), which drives cell motility, proliferation, and tissue repair in response to hepatocyte growth factor.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the MET gene, which is involved in the HGF / tissue repair and regeneration pathway. Genes within the Respiratory & Lung Function 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.
