Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 31123898
Year 2019
Title Down-regulation of ERMN expression in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Expression up-regulation
Risk type Disease risk
Result The results showed a significant decrease in ERMN expression (p = 0.022); whereas, no significant difference was detected in LTN1 expression between two groups (p = 0.935). The reduction in ERMN expression in leukocytes could be the cause of demyelinating process in RR-MS patients. Current findings might also have practical importance in prognosis and targeted therapies.
Mechanism/Pathway This paper aims to compare the peripheral transcript levels of Ermin (ERMN) (a gene with putative role in cytoskeletal rearrangements during myelinogenesis) and Listerin E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 (LTN1) (a gene with functions in regulating innate immune system) between relapsing-remitting MS (RR-MS) patients and healthy controls.
