Genomic Multiple Sclerosis Risk Variants Modulate the Expression of the ANKRD55–IL6ST Gene Region in Immature Dendritic Cells

Intronic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ANKRD55 gene are associated with the risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The risk alleles have been linked to higher expression levels of ANKRD55 and the neighboring IL6ST (gp130)...
