Epigenetic differences at the HTR2A locus in progressive multiple sclerosis patients
Abstract The pathology of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is poorly understood. We have previously assessed DNA methylation in the CD4+ T cells of relapsing–remitting (RR) MS patients compared to healthy controls and identified differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in HLA-DRB1 and RNF39.
