Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between aquaporin-4 (AQP4) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and clinical phenotypes of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: Eight SNPs in AQP4 gene regulatory region were selected and genotyped for 208 anti-AQP4 autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) seropositive cases during January 2010 to January 2014 and 204 healthy subjects. Then the correlation...
