GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 14098222
Species: Sus scrofa
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: IL6
Name: interleukin 6
Acc ID: DOID:5327
Term: retinal detachment
Definition: Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery. (Dorland, 27th ed; Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p310-12).
Definition Source(s): MESH:D012163
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
