Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with a well-established genetic contribution to susceptibility. Over 200 genetic regions have been linked to the inherited risk of developing MS, but the disease-causing variants and their functional effects at the molecular level are still largely unresolved. We hypothesised that MS-associated single-nucleotide...
