What is the rs1131580 variant?

rs1131580 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the TNFSF10 (TNF Superfamily Member 10 (TRAIL)) gene. It belongs to the Immune Signaling category and is part of the Cytokines & Immune Signaling biological cluster. TNFSF10 encodes TRAIL, a TNF superfamily member that selectively induces apoptosis in stressed and virally infected cells.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the TNFSF10 gene, which is involved in the apoptosis and immune surveillance pathway. Genes within the Cytokines & Immune Signaling 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.

rs1131580 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

TRAIL-mediated immune cell apoptosis may contribute to lymphopenia and immune depletion observed in acute and Long COVID phases.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rs1131580 variant in the TNFSF10 gene?

rs1131580 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the TNFSF10 (TNF Superfamily Member 10 (TRAIL)) gene, which is involved in apoptosis and immune surveillance. TNFSF10 encodes TRAIL, a TNF superfamily member that selectively induces apoptosis in stressed and virally infected cells.

How may the rs1131580 variant relate to Long COVID or ME/CFS?

TRAIL-mediated immune cell apoptosis may contribute to lymphopenia and immune depletion observed in acute and Long COVID phases.

Can a consumer DNA test detect the rs1131580 variant?

Many consumer DNA tests such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage genotype common SNPs. ChronicDNA analyses your raw DNA file and reports on variants studied in relation to chronic illness, immune function, and metabolism.
