    fMRI and corpus callosum relationships in monozygotic twins discordant for handedness

    To further investigate brain structure and function in 26 handedness discordant monozygotic twin pairs (MzHd), MRI and behavioural assessments were carried out. These showed significant correlation between lan...

    Revisiting the T-cell receptor alpha/delta locus and possible associations with multiple sclerosis

    A role for T cells in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is well supported, evidenced by myriad immunological studies, as well as the unequivocal genetic influence of the major histocompatibility comp...

    Regulation of major histocompatibility complex class II gene expression, genetic variation and disease

    Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are central to adaptive immune responses and maintenance of self-tolerance. Since the early 1970s, the MHC class II region at chromosome 6p21 has been ...

    EVI5 is a risk gene for multiple sclerosis

    HLA-DRB1 is the major locus associated with risk for multiple sclerosis (MS). A recent genome-wide study showed three additional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), within the IL2RA and IL7RA genes respect...

    The role of hereditary spastic paraplegia related genes in multiple sclerosis

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common inflammatory disease of the central nervous system unsurpassed for its variability in disease outcome. It has been observed that axonal loss in MS is significant and that ir...

    Follow-up investigation of 12 proposed linkage regions in multiple sclerosis

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease with overwhelming evidence for genetic determination, and for which a maternal parent-of-origin effect has been reported. As with many complex diseases, multipl...

    TCR β polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis

    A total of 267 families with two or more siblings with multiple sclerosis (MS) were genotyped with 14 restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the TCR β locus. A nonparametric linkage analysis of the data ...

    Severe cerebellar degeneration in a patient with T-cell lymphoma

    A 53-year-old man with an aggressive T-cell lymphoma was found at autopsy to have severe cerebellar degeneration, presumably as a ‘remote’ effect of malignancy. The degree of cerebellar atrophy was unusually p...
