Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) gene is essential for myelin sheath formation in the central nervous system. Coding and noncoding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can impair the protein structure and function, contributing to demyelinating diseases exemplified by multiple sclerosis. This study aimed to assess the impact of SNPs in the MBP gene on protein structure and function. METHODS: We...
