11 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Epigenetic annotation studies of genetic risk variants for multiple sclerosis (MS) implicate dysfunctional lymphocytes in MS susceptibility; however, the role of central nervous system (CNS) cells remains unclear. We investigated the effect of the risk variant, rs7665090 G , located near NFKB1 , on astrocytes. We demonstrated that chromatin is accessible at the risk locus, a prerequisite for its impact...
