▶Genome‐wide meta‐analysis identifies novel multiple sclerosis susceptibility lociMeta-analysisN=17,698Patsopoulos NA et al.(2011)· Annals of Neurology
This meta-analysis of 7 genome-wide association studies identified three novel multiple sclerosis susceptibility loci: rs170934 near EOMES (3p24.1, OR=1.17, P=1.6×10⁻⁸), rs2150702 in MLANA (9p24.1, OR=1.16, P=3.3×10⁻⁸), and rs6718520 near THADA (2p21, OR=1.17, P=3.4×10⁻⁸). The analysis encompassed 5,545 cases and 12,153 controls and identified 10 additional loci with suggestive evidence of association (P<1×10⁻⁶), including IL12B, TAGAP, PLEK, and ZMIZ1, which are shared with other inflammatory diseases.
About PRKD2
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This kinase can be activated by phorbol esters as well as by gastrin via the cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR) in gastric cancer cells. It can bind to diacylglycerol (DAG) in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and may regulate basolateral membrane protein exit from TGN. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
