Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | qRTâ€PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | RRMS |
| Population | Southern Italy |
| Sample Size | 20 patients/7 controls |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 31313885 |
| Year | 2019 |
| Title | The HLA-DRB1 risk alleles for multiple sclerosis are differentially expressed in blood cells of patients from Southern Italy |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | The HLAâ€DRB1*13 and HLAâ€DRB1*11 present a significant increment with respect to nonâ€MSâ€associated alleles, more strong in PBMC from patients compared to healthy controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | In multiple sclerosis, the diseaseâ€associated HLAâ€DR heterodimers play a pivotal role in presenting immunogenic peptides from myelin proteins to pathogenic CD4+ T cells. |
