Integrative analysis revealed potential causal genetic and epigenetic factors for multiple sclerosis.

This study identified many DNA methylations and genes as important risk factors for MS and provided novel evidence on the association between circulating MICB and Granzyme A and MS. We also showed that the interaction among DDR1, MICB and GZMA and interaction among METTL21B, METTL1 and TSFM may participate in the pathogenesis of MS.
