…ogether Dr. Purser includes IL23R in his inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis teaching. The gene, the cytokine IL-23 and the downstream cytokine IL-17A are related but distinct. An inherited marker does not measure receptor function in …

…measured IL-6 concentration and a diagnosis of inflammatory disease are three different kinds of information. IL6R adds the receptor side of the story. More from the teaching: Inflammation, energy and metabolic overlap In Dr. Purser’s cours…
