Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 27105071 |

| Title | Polymorphism in Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes May Modify Leptin Levels and Represent Risk Factors for Multiple Sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Our study implicates a significant role of LEP and LEPR polymorphisms and also leptin levels in the risk of MS and its severity. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Leptin, the product of the ob gene, can modulate the immune responses and also seems to regulate Th1/Th2 balance by promoting a shift from the Th2 to the Th1 inflammatory cytokine pathway. |
