Understanding early molecular mechanisms of abnormal myelination in neurological conditions by characterising Ermin deficiency by Oh, Sher Li, Ziaei, Amin, Tan, Liang Juin, Utami, Kagistia Hana, Pouladi, Mahmoud A., Langley, Sarah Raye

“…Ermin is a gene expressed specifically in oligodendrocytes during the late stage of myelination, and its altered expression has been associated with several neurological conditions, including epilepsy, schizophrenia, and a familial form of multiple sclerosis, although its involvement in their pathophysiology is still unclear. We studied the transcriptome of Ermin-deficient mice using gene co-expression and differential gene expression analyses to investigate early transcriptional effects of Ermin deficiency across age and sex. …”
