Sample information of multiple sclerosis:

Descent N/A
Disease MS

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID 31158268
Year 2019
Title Dimethyl fumarate dosing in humans increases frataxin expression: A potential therapy for Friedreich's Ataxia

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result DMF dosed Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients showed significant increase in FXN expression by ~85%
Mechanism/pathway As a potential consequence, we observe significant reduction in both R-loop formation and transcriptional pausing thereby significantly increasing FXN expression
