Journal ArticleDOI

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

Immunology of multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: In the early stages of MS, the activation of CD4+ autoreactive T cells and their differentiation into a Th1 phenotype are a crucial events in the initial steps, and these cells are probably also important players in the long-term evolution of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of immune-related loci identifies 48 new susceptibility variants for multiple sclerosis

Ashley Beecham, +206 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
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

Immunological aspects of demyelinating diseases

TL;DR: Recent research in MS has been focused on the characterization of cellular immune responses against myelin components and the results of these studies are reviewed and the potential implications for the pathogenesis and future therapy of MS are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple sclerosis: a complicated picture of autoimmunity.

TL;DR: Recent findings obtained with both animal models and patients with multiple sclerosis indicate involvement of a T helper cell with a TH-17 phenotype, in contrast to previous data indicating that T helper type 1 cells are critical.
