Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | blood |
| Sample Detail | peripheral blood mononuclear cells |
| Detected Method | RT-qPCR |
| Disease | MS |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 35030371 |
| Year | 2022 |
| Title | Apoptotic protease activating factor-1 gene and MicroRNA-484: A possible interplay in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulated |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | APAF-1 mRNA was significantly downregulated in patients whereas miR-484 expression was upregulated compared to controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | miR-484 is a negative regulator of APAF-1 and concluded that increased miR-484 could suppress apoptosis by targeting APAF-1 |
