A disease-specific convergence of host and Epstein–Barr virus genetics in multiple sclerosis

Abstract excerpt

Recent sero-epidemiological studies have strengthened the hypothesis that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may be a causal factor in multiple sclerosis (MS). Given the complexity of the EBV-host interaction, various mechanisms may be responsible for the disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether this is a disease-specific process. Here, we showed that genes encoding EBV interactors are enriched in loci...
