Abstract excerpt
Genetic and functional analyses of the inflammasome suggest a role for this multiprotein complex in the biological mechanisms leading to the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors trigger the activation and assembly of specific inflammasomes in response to danger signals. Mining exome sequencing data from 326 MS patients identified 17 rare...
