Mutation screening of the interferon-gamma gene as a candidate gene for multiple sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) plays a crucial role in the regulation of the immune response. Alterations in IFN-gamma production have been found in several diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). Such alterations could be caused by the action of different factors on cytokine production, or, theoretically, by mutations in the gene. We screened the IFN-gamma gene promoter and part of the first intron, known to...
