Genetic loci for Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 are associated with risk of multiple sclerosis
27 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background: Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective: We sought genetic loci influencing EBV nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1) IgG titers and hypothesized that they may play a role in MS risk. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of anti-EBNA-1 IgG titers in 3599 individuals from an unselected twin family cohort,...
