Abstract excerpt
The SH2D2A gene encodes a T-cell-specific adapter protein involved in the negative control of T-cell activation. The genotype GA13-16 homozygote of the SH2D2A gene promoter has been associated with the susceptibility to develop multiple sclerosis. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated neuropathy sharing several pathogenetic mechanisms with multiple sclerosis. We...
