Two of these genes are NLRP1 and PTPN22. The NLRP1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the immune system, helping to regulate the process of inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the immune system sends signaling molecules and white blood cells to a site of injury or disease to fight microbial invaders and facilitate tissue repair. The body then stops (inhibits) the inflammatory response to prevent damage to its own cells and tissues.]]> 2019-03-26 17:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/s80673/zj5j7k32r0iv/wish/345371669 s80673 https://padlet.com/s80673/zj5j7k32r0iv/wish/360001434 https://www.teenvogue.com/story/having-vitiligo-as-an-indian-american-woman
