RGD ID: 737487
Species: Homo sapiens
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: IFNG
Name: interferon gamma
Acc ID: DOID:9743
Term: diabetic neuropathy
Definition: Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM).
