Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood mononuclear cell |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | RT-PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | N/A |
| Population | N/A |
| Sample Size | 28 MS / 10 HCs |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 28077880 |
| Year | 2017 |
| Title | Interleukin-2 receptor-α proximal promoter hypomethylation is associated with multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | We found that levels of IL2RA expression were significantly higher in PBMCs from MS patients when compared with healthy controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Genetic studies have demonstrated association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms within the IL2RA (interleukin-2 receptor α-subunit) gene and risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). |
