| Pubmed ID | 17986506 |
| Year | 2008 |
| Title | PAI and TPA gene polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | TPA DD/PAI-1 4G4G genotype combination has reached a borderline significance for reduced risk for MS |
| Mechanism/Pathway | he explanation for this interaction may be a complex interplay between these two pleiotropic proteins within the brain tissue and in plasma. |
