IL12RB1 allele bias in human TH cells is regulated by functional SNPs in its 3'UTR.

Abstract excerpt

Allele bias is an epigenetic mechanism wherein only the maternal- or paternal-derived allele of a gene is preferentially expressed. Allele bias is used by T cells to regulate expression of numerous genes, including those which govern their development and response to cytokines. Here we demonstrate that human TH cell expression of the cytokine receptor gene IL12RB1 is subject to allele bias, and the extent to...
