Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to perform a comprehensive assessment of the association between CD58 polymorphisms and the risk of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) in a Han Chinese population. Nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 230 NMOSD patients and 487 healthy controls. Five SNPs were significantly associated with an increased risk of NMOSD (rs2300747, rs1335532, rs56302466,...
