Abstract
La esclerosis múltiple (EM) es una enfermedad compleja y heterogénea que se caracteriza por la influencia de diferentes factores, como son genéticos, ambientales y epigenéticos. Gracias a los estudios realizados hasta la fecha se han identificado variantes genéticas y genes que están involucrados con el riesgo de desarrollar EM. Los estudios que han permitido conocer gran parte de la información genética conocida son los estudios de asociación del genoma completo (GWAS). La gran parte de las variantes de riesgo identificadas se encuentran en genes que pertenecen a vías de señalización relacionadas con la inmunidad. En concreto, muchos de las variantes y genes de interés pertenecen a vías de señalización relacionadas con la inmunidad innata. A pesar del éxito de los GWAS, estos estudios presentan diferentes sesgos que solo han permitido conocer una parte del componente genético de la enfermedad. La secuenciación completa de exoma (WES) es una técnica que permite profundizar en el conocimiento del componente genético de la EM mediante la secuenciación de la región codificante de todo el genoma...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex and heterogeneous disease, characterized by genetics, environmental and epigenetics factors. Several genes and genetic variants involved with the risk of developing MS have been identified. The majority of this known information has been detected by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Many of the identified variants are located in genes implicated in pathways related to innate immunity. Despite the success of GWAS, these studies have only revealed part of the genetic component of MS due to different biases involved in these studies. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a technique which sequences the coding region of the entire genome allowing us to improve our knowledge of genetic basis of MS...
