Although the CCR7 gene is downregulated in the systemic-associated uveitis group, mouse models of autoimmune uveitis demonstrate an increase of Natural Killer (NK) cells expressing CCR7 in inflamed eyes, associated with elevated expression of NKG2D, CD69, and IFN‐γ (83), which may highlight the differences in the inflammatory processes between the two groups. Here, IFNG is linked to uveitis.
