| Year | 2005 |
| Title | Association of a common polymorphism in the promoter of UCP2 with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | positive |
| Result | Thus, UCP2 promoter polymorphism may contribute to MS susceptibility by regulating the level of UCP2 protein in the central nervous and/or the immune systems. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
