Let’s explore “Raynaud’s phenomenon and inflammation”

Encodes an enzyme involved in fatty-acid metabolism.

GAD2 helps make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.

GCLC helps make glutathione, an antioxidant your body produces.

GCLM helps regulate one of the steps your body uses to make glutathione.

GDF5 encodes growth differentiation factor 5, a signaling protein involved in skeletal development, joint formation and cartilage biology. Its name does not mean a SNP measures the ability to build muscle.

GGH encodes gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, which removes glutamate residues from folate compounds. This affects folate handling and helps explain why folate metabolism includes retention and processing as well as intake.

GPX1 helps cells use glutathione to handle peroxides.

GPX3 helps use glutathione in peroxide defense outside cells.

GPX4 helps protect cell membranes from certain peroxides.

HDC is the gene name for Histidine Decarboxylase. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

HRH1 is the gene name for Histamine Receptor H1. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

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.
