The Link between TLR7 Variants and Critical COVID-19

Image
Toll Like Receptor 7  ( TLR7 ) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TLR7 include: [3] Immunodeficiency 74 Covid19-Related X-Linked   X-Linked Immunodeficiency 74 Among its related pathways are Viral mRNA Translation and Measles . Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include transmembrane signaling receptor activity and double-stranded RNA binding  (dsRBD). An important paralog of this gene is TLR8 . In this article, we will cover the below topics: Genetic Variation X-linked COVID-19 Risk Factor Raw Data on Your Genetic Data ( 23andMe ) How Does 23andMe Report Genotypes? All Markers Reported on 23andMe for TLR7 Gene Genetic Variation Genetic variation is the difference in DNA sequences between individuals within a population. Variants may be germline or somatic. A variant in itself is not “pathogenic”, whether it can be causally related to a phenotype observed in a patient is determined by other factors. When a variant is described to "cau...
