Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 25591770 |
| Year | 2015 |
| Title | Genetic association of MiR-146a with multiple sclerosis susceptibility in the Chinese population |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | However, stratification by gender showed a statistically significant difference in the frequency of the genotype rs2910164 between MS patients and control females (P=0.009). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | In this study, the observation that females have a higher MS prevalence than males may result from an interaction between the genotype and sex hormones during development. |
