Immunopharmacology Comments
ACKR1 is one of more than 20 distinct chemokine receptors expressed in human leukocytes. Chemokines primarily act to promote leukocyte chemotaxis to sites of inflammation. Studies in ACKR1 null mice, and analysis of ACKR1 SNPs in asthmatic patients with poorly controlled symptoms, suggest a role for this cytokine receptor in the temporal regulation of asthma pathophysiology and symptoms [1].

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
Mice with targeted disruption of the ACKR1 gene show increased airway hyperresponsiveness to allergen challenge at 24 hours (post last exposure) compared to WT mice. By 7 days post exposure the hyperresponsiveness had resolved in ACKR1 deficient mice but not in WT mice.

Disease:  Plasmodium vivax malaria
Disease Ontology: DOID:12978
OMIM: 611162
Role:  Variation in the ACKR1 gene can result in protection against Plasmodium vivax malaria.
Biologically Significant Variant Comments
The Duffy blood group system, associated with complete resistance to the malarial parasite Plasmodium vivax, and white blood cell count as a quantitative trait are based on variation in the DARC gene. For more information see OMIM entries 110700 and 611862.
