Research Abstract

In Japanese demyelinating disease, whereas DRB1*0901 is a disease resi stance gene regardless of the disease phenotype, disease susceptibility gene revealed that depending on the disease phenotype. IL7RA gene, a disease susceptibility gene in Western Caucasian, was shown to be a disease susceptibility gene in Japanese MS. The IL2RA gene, may contribute to disease susceptibility only when it interacts with HLA-DRB1*1501 or HLA-DRB1*0405. By using a cell-free protein synthesis system, LUZP1 is obtained as a self-antigen significantly more in CIDP than Balo disease, SOX6 was obtained as a self-antigen significantly more in MS than Balo disease and CIDP. The high sensitivity anti-AQP4 antibody assay revealed that IgG1 is associated with disease duration, and there was a reverse correlation between the spinal cord lesion length IgG2 .
