Genetic risk variants for multiple sclerosis are linked to differences in alternative pre-mRNA splicing
BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system to which a genetic predisposition contributes. Over 200 genetic regions have been associated with increased disease risk, but the disease-causing variants and their functional impact at the molecular...
