"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 ."

"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)."
