HDC is the gene name for Histidine Decarboxylase. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it. Also called: Histidine Decarboxylase Histamine production is one part of the circuit HDC is involved in the enzyme step conv…
HFE helps regulate iron absorption through signaling that influences hepcidin. The commonly discussed C282Y and H63D variants correspond to rs1800562 and rs1799945. Their implications depend on the combination present and clinical findings.…
HLA-DQA1 contributes to an HLA-DQ protein that presents antigen fragments to CD4 T cells. HLA-DQ function depends on pairing with an HLA-DQB chain, so an isolated marker is not a complete HLA type. Also called: HLADQA1, Human Leukocyte Anti…
HRH1 is the gene name for Histamine Receptor H1. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it. Also called: Histamine Receptor H1 Receiving the histamine signal The Purser genetics reference places HRH1 in the histamine-…
KIT encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that responds to stem cell factor. It participates in blood-cell development and mast-cell biology, making the exact variant and testing context especially important. Also called: Kit Proto-Oncogene A …
MAOB encodes monoamine oxidase B, an enzyme involved in breaking down monoamine compounds, including dopamine. It does not simply build dopamine, and a DNA marker is not a neurotransmitter measurement. Also called: MAO-B, Monoamine Oxidase …
MMP3 encodes matrix metalloproteinase 3, an enzyme involved in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix. Controlled remodeling is part of repair, while excess activity can accompany inflammatory tissue damage. Also called: Matri…
MTHFD1 helps move folate between forms used for different jobs in the body. Also called: Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase 1 Folate has several working forms Dr. Purser includes MTHFD1 among genes involved in folate interconversion. T…
