| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We detected associated genetic loci with disability index of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Japanese population. We compared immunophenotype of γδT cells between Japanese patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls (HC) by flow cytometry. The percentages of Vδ2+ and Vδ2+Vγ9+ cells in γδ T cells were negatively correlated with the disability index. Presence of deleted type copy number variation at TRG, which had been clarified to be associated with MS susceptibility, were associated with the decreased expression of TRGJ1.
