Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25620546 |
| Year | 2014 |
| Title | Multiple sclerosis risk loci correlate with cervical cord atrophy and may explain the course of disability |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Phenotypic risk |
| Result | For nine loci—BATF, CYP27B1, IL12B, NFKB1,IL7, PLEK, EVI5, TAGAP and nrs669607—patients revealed significantly higher degree of atrophy; TYK2, RGS1 and CLEC16A revealed inverse effects. The weighted genetic risk score over the twelve loci showed significant correlation with MUCCA. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | We genotyped 141 MS patients for 58 variations re-ported to reach significance in GW AS. Expanded disability status scale (EDSS) and disease duration (DD) are available from regular clinical examinations. |
