Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 11358358 |
| Year | 2001 |
| Title | Analysis of the NRAMP1 gene implicated in iron transport: association with multiple sclerosis and age effects |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Statistically significant differences in allelic distribution were observed between the patient and control samples drawn from the same population (P , 0.01). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The many cellular functions dependent on iron and other metal ions as cofactors may explain the complex role of NRAMP1 in infectious and autoimmune disease. |
