Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A consensus protocol for the standardization of cerebrospinal fluid collection and biobanking

TL;DR: A consensus report on recommendations for CSF collection and biobanking is presented, formed by the BioMS-eu network forCSF biomarker research in multiple sclerosis, and focuses on CSf collection procedures, preanalytical factors, and high-quality clinical and paraclinical information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining high, medium and low impact prognostic factors for developing multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The demographic and topographic characteristics are low-impact prognostic factors, the presence of oligoclonal bands is a medium- impact prognostic factor, and the number of lesions on brain magnetic resonance is a high-impact prediction factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do oligoclonal bands add information to MRI in first attacks of multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Investigation of whether oligoclonal bands add information to MRI in predicting both a second attack and development of disability in patients with clinically isolated syndromes found that the presence of OB doubles the risk for having a secondattack, independently of MRI, but does not seem to influence the development of disabilities.
