The possible viral aetiology of disseminated sclerosis.
The two most attractive current hypotheses concerning the aetiology of disseminated (multiple) sclerosis (MS) are those of (1) an 'autoimmune' process, analogous to experimental allergic encephalitis, or (2) an infection, for which the 'slow virus diseases' of the central nervous system represent a possible model. Experimental data have been advanced favouring each hypothesis, and it is in fact...
متن کاملGenetic factors in systemic sclerosis
A number of genetic loci have been identified that appear to be associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). There is mounting evidence suggesting that these genetic associations may in fact be associated with distinct phenotypes in SSc based on autoantibody pattern rather than with SSc as a single disease entity. This may ultimately have implications for approaches to therapy as well...
متن کاملEye Changes in Disseminated Sclerosis
What is probably the first written account of the clinical features of disseminated sclerosis is contained in the diary of Augustus D'Este, the illegitimate son of Prince Augustus Frederick, and grandson of George III. The first manifestations of the disease in his case, as m some 30% of all such patients, were referable to the eyes. In 1822, we read, he journeyed to visit a much-loved relative...
متن کاملPrevalence of Disseminated Sclerosis
CHARCOT remarked in 1868: "Even today I do not believe that disseminated sclerosis is known in England," and this may have been true, although Moxon described a case in 1873 and others some years later. Williamson (1903) reported a proportion of patients with disseminated sclerosis equivalent to 27 cases for every 1,000 nervous diseases seen at the Manchester Royal Infirmary over a period of 10...
متن کاملGenetic Risk Factors for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
We performed a genome-wide association study in sporadic ALS (2,323 patients and 9,013 controls) and evaluated all SNPs with P < 1.0 x 10-4 in a second, independent cohort of 2,532 patients and 5,940 controls. Analysis of the genome-wide data revealed genome-wide signifi cance for one SNP, rs12608932 with P = 1.30 x 10-9. This SNP demonstrated robust replication in the second cohort (P = 1.86 x...
