TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --over  
increased pulmonary CSF2 production in response to infection is primed by the microbiota through IL17A
constitutional       gain of function
in periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenopathy syndrome with activation of IL8
Susceptibility
  • to asthma
  • to rheumatoid arthritis
  • Variant & Polymorphism variant ile 117 maybe a risk factor for atopic asthma
    Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target antibody specific for cytokine or receptor as therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • in Csf2 gene-deficient mice, a detailed kinetic analysis of monocyte/macrophage and neutrophil dynamics in antigen-induced peritonitis suggested that Csf2 was acting, in part, systemically to maintain the inflammatory reaction
