Large-scale gene-expression studies and the challenge of multiple sclerosis.

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: In multiple sclerosis, a complex neurodegenerative disorder, a combination of genetic and environmental factors results in inflammation and myelin damage. Recent transcription-profiling studies have found distinct gene-expression patterns in diseased tissue; such large-scale studies at different stages of the disease are contributing to understanding multiple sclerosis and developing effective therapy.
