Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 14991350 |
| Year | 2004 |
| Title | Association between Synapsin III gene promoter polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | The distribution of haplotypes reported a significant difference between cases and controls with the A196 haplotype seeming to confer a significant protection against MS. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Synapsins are a family of abundant neuron-specific phosphoproteins, that have been recognised as playing crucial roles in synaptogenesis and neuronal plasticity, including regulation of synapse development, modulation of neurotransmitter release and formation of nerve terminals. |
