MS Accelerator: discovering the genetic variant driving the rapid progression of multiple sclerosis

Neurological Disease Multiple Sclerosis Concept Art

A comprehensive study involving 22,000 multiple sclerosis patients has identified a genetic variant that accelerates disease progression. This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at Yale and the International MS Genetics Consortium, found that patients with two copies of the variant, close to the DYSF and ZNF638 genes, experienced faster disease progression. This discovery opens new avenues … Read more
