COVID-19 research v1.66 IL6R Arina Puzriakova commented on gene: IL6R
COVID-19 research v1.34 IL4R Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: IL4R was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility); to: IL4R was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility). "Illumina review: IL4R (interleukin 4 receptor), encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-4 receptor [29], is a type I transmembrane protein that can bind both IL-4 (interleukin 4) and IL-13 (interleukin13) to regulate IgE production.
From OMIM: PMID: 16189667 Soriano et al. (2005)
By analysis of IL4R allele and genotype frequencies in individuals with different risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition and different rates of progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Soriano et al. (2005) determined that the V50 allele predominated in HIV-positive long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs), whereas the I50 allele predominated in healthy controls, typical progressors, and those at risk for infection due to sexual exposure or treatment of hemophilia. Homozygosity for V50 was increased in LTNPs compared with other groups. Soriano et al. (2005) concluded that V50 homozygosity appears to be associated with slow progression to AIDS after HIV infection.

A case-control study to evaluate possible associations between SNPs in IL4R and IL6R genes and clinical dengue in children from two Colombian populations, Huila and Antioquia. The study included 298 symptomatic children and 648 asymptomatic controls. The IL4R-rs1805016 GG genotype associated with clinical dengue in the pooled and Huila samples. No association of these polymorphisms in the sample of Antioquia.

Fifty-five chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, fifty-three self-healing HBV (SH) patients and 53 healthy controls (HC) were recruited, 404 cytokine and cytokine receptor related genes sequenced using NGS. The authors suggest that the IL4R SNPs; rs1805012 (p.Cys431Arg) and rs1805011 (p.Glu400Ala) are associated with chronic hepatitis B, there was no significant difference between the frequency of these variants between the CHB patients and the SH patients.
PMID: 31141539 Naget et al. EBV infection represses IL4R expression. Isolated EBV-positive and EBV-negative subclones from the DLBCL derived cell line DOHH-2 showed that EBV-encoded factors LMP1 and LMP2A activated the expression of HLX via STAT3. HLX in turn repressed NKX6-3, SPIB and IL4R which normally mediate plasma cell differentiation.
COVID-19 research v0.202 IL6R Sarah Leigh Classified gene: IL6R as Green List (high evidence)
