Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 24735979
Year 2014
Title TET2 gene expression and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine level in multiple sclerosis peripheral blood cells

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Expression down-regulated
Risk type Disease risk
Result We show that TET2 and DNMT1 expression is significantly down-regulated in MS PBMCs and it is associated with aberrant methylation of their promoters.
Mechanism/Pathway Furthermore, 5hmC is decreased in MS PBMCs, probably as a result of the diminished TET2 level.
