Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 22341604 |
| Year | 2012 |
| Title | Polymorphisms of the BDNF gene show neither association with multiple sclerosis susceptibility nor clinical course |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | No association was found for any of the SNPs to disease susceptibility or any clinical or demographic parameters including sex, age at onset, disease course, disease severity and cognitive impairment. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been proposed a protective role in multiple sclerosis (MS) in several studies |
