Abstract excerpt
HLA-G is believed to act as an anti-inflammatory molecule in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The 3' untranslated region of the HLA-G gene is characterized by two polymorphisms, DEL/INS14bp and +3142C>G, which control soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) production. The influence of these two HLA-G variants on sHLA-G serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels was investigated in 69 Relapsing-Remitting MS patients grouped in magnetic...
