Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | RRMS |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 29157944 |
| Year | 2018 |
| Title | Down-regulation of TYK2, CBLB and LMP7 genes expression in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients treated with interferon-beta |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Significantly down-regulated expression of TYK2, CBLB and LMP7 genes was found in the patients group versus controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Our results suggest that expression analysis of TYK2, CBLB and LMP7 genes could be useful for evaluation of T cells immunity and clinical response to IFNβ-therapy in RRMS patients. |
