High risk of conversion to multiple sclerosis predicted by gene activity

Create new blog

Scientists have identified a pattern of gene activity that predicts which patients who experience the first clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis - known as clinically isolated syndrome - are at high risk of converting to the full blown disease.

The finding, reported in the current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( Aug. 5, 2008 ), identifies potential candidates who may benefit from early therapy for preventing conversion to multiple sclerosis, the researchers say. It also reveals a genetic landscape for studying the earliest molecular events of the disease.

"This is a very exciting development," says the senior author of the study, Sergio E. Baranzini, PhD, assistant professor of neurology and a member of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Group at University of California, San Francisco................
