A null mutation within the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)-gene: implications for susceptibility and disease severity in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Genes and immunity - 1 Feb 2002

Hoffmann V, Pöhlau D, Przuntek H, Epplen J T, Hardt C

Abstract excerpt

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Impaired remyelination and axonal degeneration may account for progressive disability in MS patients. As ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) takes part in myelogenesis, we examined the frequency of a CN...
