尽管多发性硬化症(MS)仅发生在特定的家庭中,但在寻找和该疾病发生相关的基因上,科学家们却屡屡遭受失败,如今来自英属哥伦比亚大学的研究人员通过研究就报道了一种特殊的基因突变,其或许和多发性硬化症的发病存在直接关联,相关研究刊登于国际杂志Neuron上。这项研究对于我们理解多发性硬化症的发病机制非常重要,目前我们并不清楚到底是哪种生物学过程导 Although multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs only in specific families, scientists have repeatedly failed to find genes relevant to the disease, and now researchers from the University of British Columbia report a A special kind of genetic mutation, which may be directly related to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, is published in the International Journal Neuron. This study is important for understanding the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and we do not know exactly which biological processes guide
