Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological immune-driven disease of unknown etiology. A genetic contribution to MS susceptibility is well established and more than 100 associated genomic regions have been identified. However, there is little understanding of how individual genetic variants are involved in the pathogenesis of MS. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the first intron of CD58 have been...
