Coding region polymorphisms in T cell signal transduction genes. Prevalence and association to development of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

We systematically assessed 53 genes involved in T cell signaling, among which 72 SNPs in 32 genes were reported in databases as causing non-synonymous amino acid substitutions. Screening of 41 of these SNPs in DNA pools from 4000 Norwegian controls showed that only 12 SNPs (29%) were polymorphic. These were tested for association to MS in DNA pools from 364 Norwegian MS patients. To eliminate sources of variance...
