Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 27105071 |
| Year | 2021 |
| Title | Association study of rs7799039, rs1137101 and rs8192678 gene variants with disease susceptibility/severity and corresponding LEP, LEPR and PGC1A gene expression in 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 (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co- activator 1-alpha (PGC1A) are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) by affecting the inflam-matory response and reactive oxygen species production. |
