QKI-V5 is downregulated in CNS inflammatory demyelinating diseases

ConclusionThe downregulation in the expression of QKI-V5 in the blood of patients with CNS-inflammatory-demyelinating-diseases and in the brain and blood of EAE mice is likely caused by a circulating factor and might promote re-myelination by regulation of myelin-associated genes. Key words: QKI variants, Multiple sclerosis (MS), Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), Astrocytes, Demyelination.
