Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 19740340 |
| Year | 2009 |
| Title | The CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms are associated with CTLA-4 protein expression levels in multiple sclerosis patients and with susceptibility to disease |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | We analyzed our previous data on CTLA-4 protein expression in CD4 T cells freshly obtained from patients with MS in the context of the CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms determined. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | We clearly show, for the first time, that 3′-UTR polymorphisms of the CTLA-4 gene influence both membrane and cytoplasmic CTLA-4 levels, as measured by MFI, and in this way they have impact on disease susceptibility. |
