Summaries for Orchitis

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Orchitis, also known as inflammation of testis, is related to epididymo-orchitis and granulomatous orchitis. An important gene associated with Orchitis is GJB6 (Gap Junction Protein Beta 6), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Dendritic Cells Developmental Lineage Pathway. The drugs Isoniazid and Dexamethasone acetate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include testis, testes and t cells, and related phenotypes are Increased shRNA abundance (Z-score > 2) and Increased shRNA abundance (Z-score > 2)

Wikipedia : 77 Orchitis is inflammation of the testes. It can also involve swelling, pains and frequent infection,... more...
