Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by complex gene-environment interactions. ATXN1 maps to 6p22.3, within the 233 loci associated with an increased risk of developing MS. Toxic gain-of-function mutations in ATXN1 cause the neurodegenerative disorder spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). Conversely, ATXN1 loss-of-function is involved in...
