Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25670004 |

| Title | Anti-inflammatory genes associated with multiple sclerosis: a gene expression study |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | down-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Here, a gene expression analysis revealed that three of them, namely BACH2, PTGER4 and ZFP36L1, are down-regulated in MS patients' blood cells compared to healthy subjects. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Interestingly, all these genes are involved in the immune system regulation with predominant anti-inflammatory role and their reduction could predispose to MS development. |
