Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 30818222 |
| Year | 2019 |
| Title | Analysis of chosen SNVs in GPC5, CD58 and IRF8 genes in multiple sclerosis patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | The study suggests that genetic variants inGPC5, CD58 and IRF8 genes may be of clinical interest in MS as predictors of age of onset and response to therapy. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with a neurodegen-erative compound. Heterogenetic background of autoimmunity pathway components has been suggested in the MS pathogenesis |
