cytokine: Cytokine signaling genes SNP annotation.
Description
This gene set was selected in Carbonetto and Stephens
(2013) from an interrogation of 3,158 derived from 8 publicly available
pathway databases.
Usage

Arguments
Format
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.
