  • Multiple Sclerosis Genomic Map implicates peripheral immune cells & microglia in susceptibility - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31604244

    ABSTRACT: We analyzed genetic data of 47,429 multiple sclerosis (MS) and 68,374 control subjects and establish a reference map of the genetic architecture of MS that includes 200 autosomal susceptibility variants outside the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), one chromosome X variant, and 32 within the extended MHC. We used an ensemble of methods to prioritize 551 putative susceptibility genes, that implicate multiple innate and adaptive pathways distributed across the cellular components of the immune system. Using expression profiles from purified human microglia, we observe enrichment for MS genes in these brain-resident immune cells, suggesting that these may have a role in targeting an autoimmune process to the central nervous system, although MS is most likely initially triggere

  • The phenotypic and genetic association between endometriosis and immunological diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40262193

    ABSTRACT: Abstract STUDY QUESTION Is there an increased risk of immunological diseases among endometriosis patients, and does a shared genetic basis contribute to this risk? SUMMARY ANSWER Endometriosis patients show a significantly increased risk of autoimmune, autoinflammatory, and mixed-pattern diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, coeliac disease, osteoarthritis, and psoriasis, with genetic correlations between endometriosis and osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, and a potential causal link to rheumatoid arthritis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The epidemiological evidence for an increased risk of immunological diseases among women with endometriosis is limited in scope and has varied in robustness due to the opportunity for biases.
