Genes Available by Pathway

Table 2 - Genes Available, By Pathway  
[View Table 1 - Genetic Variants Available, By Gene]

These candidate genes have a role in numerous cellular and physiologic pathways, as well as in multiple diseases and outcomes
of public health importance. The pathways listed are not mutually exclusive. The inclusion of genes in certain pathways was based on information gathered from the GeneCards database This reference links to a non-governmental website,
the KEGG GENES database This reference links to a non-governmental website, and selected publications, for ACE
(1, 2), CAPN10 (3), and SERPINE1 (4-6).

The genes have a proposed or established association with the listed diseases and clinical outcomes, but the
genetic associations are not limited to these diseases.

B9D2 is a protein that lies partially within the TGFB1 promoter. The variants genotyped lie within B9D2 but are believed to be promoter polymorphisms of TGFB1.
