Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25288302 |
| Year | 2014 |
| Title | Analysis of polymorphisms in RIG-I-like receptor genes in German multiple sclerosis patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Evaluation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene did not reveal significant single-SNP associations with MS risk. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Increased activation of RLR genes has been demonstrated in peripheral blood cells of MS patients.It was speculated that genetic alterations in the RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway may lead to inadequate immune responses and increase the susceptibility for autoimmune disorders. |
