Abstract excerpt
Using two microarray platforms, we identify HLA-DRB5 as the most highly expressed gene in MS compared to healthy subjects. As expected, HLA-DRB5 expression was associated with the HLA-DRB1*1501 MS susceptibility allele. Besides HLA-DRB5, there were 1219 differentially expressed exons (p<0.01, |fold change (FC)|>1.2) that differed between HLA-DRB1*1501 Positive multiple sclerosis subjects (MSP) compared to...
