IRAK1 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder

ConclusionsThis study is first to demonstrate that X-chromosome-linked IRAK1 polymorphisms are associated with the risk of NMOSD and provide novel insights into the underlying mechanisms of this disease. Further studies are needed to elucidate the function of IRAK1 variants in the pathogenesis of NMOSD and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
