Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: alphaB-crystallin is a molecular chaperone and potential myelin antigen, up-regulated in the earlier stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. In the alphaB-crystallin gene (CRYAB), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with MS susceptibility (g.CRYAB-652A>G) and a rapidly progressive clinical course (g.CRYAB-650C>G). METHOD: CRYAB was screened for mutations in 233 MS patients...
