Mutação de gene associada a certo tipo de Esclerose Múltipla

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-36416531
Citando:
"The mutation is in a gene called NR1H3, which makes a protein that acts as a switch controlling inflammation.
In MS the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the protective layer of myelin that surrounds nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and other symptoms."
(...)
"The researchers believe stopping the inflammation early might prevent or delay the disease. They already have drugs in mind that might do this by targeting the NR1H3 gene pathway.
These drugs are in development for other diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes."

"[This MS] variant itself is rare and most people with MS won't have it. "

Parar a esclerose múltipla? - Estudo / Tratamento

Citando:
"The condition causes the immune system to attack the lining of nerves in the brain and spinal cord. Most patients are diagnosed in their 20s and 30s.
One existing treatment is for the immune system to be suppressed with chemotherapy and then stem cells are introduced to the patient's bloodstream - this procedure is known as an autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).


(...)
But in this study, Canadian researchers went further - not just suppressing the immune system, but destroying it altogether.
It is then rebuilt with stem cells harvested from the patient's own blood which are at such an early stage, they have not developed the flaws that trigger MS.
The authors said that among the survivors, over a period of up to 13 years, there were no relapses and no new detectable disease activity."
(...) "1 person died".
