Stephen Sawcer, +265 more
- 10 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.

TL;DR: This study enhances the catalog of multiple sclerosis risk variants and illustrates the value of fine mapping in the resolution of GWAS signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

An automated tool for detection of FLAIR-hyperintense white-matter lesions in Multiple Sclerosis

TL;DR: The developed and evaluated an algorithm for automated lesion detection requiring a three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo (GRE) T1-weighted and a FLAIR image at 3 Tesla and it is believed that this tool allows fast and reliable segmentation of FLAIR-hyperintense lesions, which might simplify the quantification of lesions in basic research and even clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica: A multicentre study of 175 patients

TL;DR: This study provides an overview of the clinical and paraclinical features of NMOSD in Caucasians and demonstrates a number of distinct disease characteristics in seropositive and seronegative patients.
