What is the rs111200466 variant?
rs111200466 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the TLR5 (Toll-Like Receptor 5) gene. It belongs to the Innate Immunity category and is part of the Viral Defense & Interferon Response biological cluster. TLR5 recognizes bacterial flagellin and is involved in mucosal and systemic innate immune responses.
Biological role and pathway
This variant sits within the TLR5 gene, which is involved in the pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway. Genes within the Viral Defense & Interferon Response 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.
