TL;DR: The integrative approach provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of MS susceptibility and suggests putative therapeutic strategies targeting a methylation-mediated regulation of the major risk gene.

TL;DR: The researchers compared the genetic overlap between various autoimmune diseases in the Icelandic cohort, and documented a close relationship between MS and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and uncovered seven new genetic risk variants linked to MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiepileptic drugs are associated with central hypothyroidism
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to search for CH in adults treated with AEDs and find whether the type of AED’s used matters, and to investigate the link between antiepileptic drugs and central hypothyroidism.
