PADI4 Gene in Multiple Sclerosis: A Family-Based Association Study

Résumé

In multiple sclerosis (MS) MBP is heavily citrullinated by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD). This post-translational modification may be crucial for its pathogenesis. PADI4 is the isoform expressed in inflammatory infiltrates. The aim of this study was to analyse the role of PADI4 gene in conferring susceptibility to MS, by means of a family-based association study, testing three SNPs by RFLP. No association was found either with single SNPs or haplotypes. Similarly no significant association was detected partitioning the patients according to DRB1*15 positivity or disease severity. These results do not support a major role of the PADI4 gene, but further studies may contribute to clarify the genetic factors that regulate deimination. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
