Multiple sclerosis. TNFRSF1A, TRAPS and multiple sclerosis

Nat Rev Neurol. 2009 Oct;5(10):528-9. doi: 10.1038/nrneurol.2009.154.

Abstract

A genome-wide association study has identified the R92Q variant of the TNFRSF1A gene as a new susceptibility locus for multiple sclerosis. This locus is of special interest because the R92Q substitution was previously detected in a group of multiple sclerosis patients who had additional symptoms compatible with the autoinflammatory syndrome TRAPS.
