Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 28966652 |
| Year | 2017 |
| Title | Optical coherence tomography and T cell gene expression analysis in patients with benign multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Our results demonstrated that retinal nerve fiber layer was mildly thinned, and T cells had a distinct gene expression profile that included upregulation of interleukin 10 and leukemia inhibitory factor, downregulation of interleukin 6 and neurotensin high affinity receptor 1 (a novel neurotrophin receptor). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
