This gene set was selected in Carbonetto and Stephens (2013) from an interrogation of 3,158 derived from 8 publicly available pathway databases.
data(cytokine)
cytokine[i] = 1
if SNP i lies within 100 kb of a gene in the "Cytokine
signaling in immune system" gene set, and cytokine[i] = 0
otherwise.
Pathway id 75790 from the Reactome database, or pathway id 366171 from the BioSystems database.
