Expression and clinical significance of IL7R, NFATc2, and RNF213 in familial and sporadic multiple sclerosis
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system characterized by myelin loss and axonal dysfunction. Increased production of inflammatory factors such as cytokines has been implicated in axon destruction. In the present study, we compa...
