Abstract excerpt
Differences in immune responses are observed between males and females, influenced by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. The sex-specific genetic effects on cytokine production, however, remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify sex-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting cytokine production in response to diverse infectious antigens. We performed sex-stratified cytokine QTL (cQTLs)...
