TGFB1 and eosinophilic esophagitis: Moreover, the repeatedly reported association between EoE and polymorphisms in locus 11q13, attributed to EMSY by most authors [see section “Tumor necrosis factor-α and Interferon-γ”], was recently attributed by Kottyan et al. (2021) to the near encoded protein LRRC32 (leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 32; also known as GARP), a TGF-β binding protein with a role in latent surface expression and signaling of TGF-β and highly expressed in activated forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) + T regulatory cells (D’Mello et al., 2016).
