Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Polymorphisms related with TNFRSF6B, were associated with MS risk. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | T-cell receptor engagement without costimulation leads to suboptimal T-cell activation and T-cell anergy.Two main superfamilies of co-signalling molecules based on their structure modulate the T-cell response: the immunoglobulin superfamily and the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF).One of these TNFRSF members is HVEM (herpes virus entry mediator or TNFRSF14), a molecular switch that regulates the host immune response depending on which ligand it binds. |
