SP140 regulates the expression of immune-related genes associated with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases by NF-κB inhibition
26 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
SP140 locus has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) as well as other autoimmune diseases by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The causal variant of these associations (rs28445040-T) alters the splicing of the SP140 gene transcripts reducing the protein expression. We aimed to understand why the reduction of SP140 expression produced by the risk variant can increase the susceptibility to MS. To this...
