Ever wondered why some people seem to avoid sickness effortlessly, while others catch every bug in the vicinity? It turns out, luck and genetics may both play a role.
In this episode, we uncover the secrets of the IL6 gene, responsible for coding interleukin 6 (IL-6), a crucial immune messenger.
Discover how certain variants of the IL6 gene, such as rs1800795, are linked to higher or lower IL-6 levels, affecting immunity and susceptibility to infections.
But the story doesn't end there – we explore other variants like rs1800796, connecting genetic makeup to conditions like acne, longevity, muscle recovery, and inflammatory diseases.
Is your IL6 gene making you ill, or is it your genetic strength?
