Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Determine whether MS-specific DNA methylation profiles can be identified in whole blood or purified immune cells from untreated MS patients. METHODS: Whole blood, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell DNA from 16 female, treatment naïve MS patients and 14 matched controls was profiled using the HumanMethylation450K BeadChip. Genotype data were used to assess genetic homogeneity of our sample and to exclude potential...
