Journal ArticleDOI

A “candidate-interactome” aggregate analysis of genome-wide association data in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The interaction between genotype and Epstein Barr virus emerges as relevant for multiple sclerosis etiology, and also other viruses have a similar potential, though probably less relevant in epidemiological terms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion from clinically isolated syndrome to multiple sclerosis: A large multicentre study

Jens Kuhle, +98 more
TL;DR: MRI lesion load, OCB and age at CIS are validated as the strongest independent predictors of conversion to CDMS in this multicentre setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study

Davina J. Hensman Moss, +734 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: A novel measure of disease progression and a genome-wide significant signal on chromosome 5 spanning three genes: MSH3, DHFR, and MTRNR2L2 is generated, suggesting this mechanism as an area for future therapeutic investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD161highCD8+T cells bear pathogenetic potential in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Variations of CD161 expression on CD8(+) T cells identify a subset of lymphocytes with proinflammatory characteristics that have not been previously reported in multiple sclerosis and are likely to contribute to disease immunopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Riluzole in patients with hereditary cerebellar ataxia: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: The findings lend support to the idea that riluzole could be a treatment for cerebellar ataxia, and longer studies and disease-specific trials are needed to confirm whether these findings can be applied in clinical practice.
