Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	11571785
Year	2001
Title	Upregulation of transcription factors controlling MHC expression in multiple sclerosis lesions

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Expression	up-regulation
Risk type	Disease risk
Result	In microglial cells localized in normal control white matter, the STAT1 was expressed at weak to moderate levels.The STAT1 was moderately to strongly expressed in phagocytic macrophages in MS lesions .
Mechanism/Pathway	directly or indirectly regulate the expression of MHC class I and class II genes
