Characteristic imprint of single nucleotide polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Although the main pathomechanism of multiple sclerosis (MS) is not known, an autoimmune response against the myelin basic proteins (MBPs) is presumed to be involved in its evolution and propagation. In this study, we examined whether the nucleotide sequences of the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of the DNAs encoding the MBP are characteristic of MS. These genetic regions are presumed to be responsible for the...
