rs10903323

What is the rs10903323 variant?

rs10903323 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the MSRA (Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase A) gene. It belongs to the Oxidative Stress category and is part of the Oxidative Stress biological cluster. MSRA encodes methionine sulfoxide reductase A, which repairs oxidized methionine residues in proteins, counteracting oxidative damage.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the MSRA gene, which is involved in the protein oxidation repair pathway. Genes within the Oxidative Stress 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.
