"Expanding the therapeutic armamentarium of systemic immunosuppressive agents to treat the more aggressive and recalcitrant cases is of paramount importance in the management of JIA-U, one of the most challenging types of uveitis.IL-6 binds to a membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) or a soluble receptor (sIL-6R) generated by the cleavage of IL-6R by a membrane-bound metalloprotease (ADAM 17)."

"One example of such regulation by nonsynonymous variants is IL6R, which had a strong cis-pQTL that was primarily associated with the coding-variant rs2228145 p.D358A (and rs12730935 which was in perfect linkage disequilibrium; plasma=1.6×10 CSF= 1.3×10 ), as this variant leads to increased cleavage by ADAM10 and ADAM17 of membrane bound IL6R ."
