Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 23897640 |
| Year | 2014 |
| Title | Common genetic variants in the plasminogen activation pathway are not associated with multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | No associations were found between the 17 polymorphisms and MS. Also, gene expression levels were analysed according to genotype: no associations were observed. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is involved in multiple sclerosis (MS) aetiology. Previously, we identified differen-tial gene expression of plasminogen activation cascade genes in MS patients. |
