Genetic variation in NDFIP1 modifies the metabolic patterns in immune cells of multiple sclerosis patients

Abstract One of the 233 polymorphisms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility lies within the NDFIP1 gene, and it was previously identified as eQTL in healthy controls. NDFIP1 shows interesting immune functions and is involved in the development of the central nervous system. We aimed...
