Journal: A genome-wide association study of blood cell morphology identifies cellular proteins implicated in disease aetiology. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 23, 2023 By integrating with proteomic data we identify the transcription factor FOG2 as an early regulator of platelet formation and ?-granularity. Finally, we show that colocalisation of our associations with disease risk signals can suggest aetiological cell-types-variants in IL2RA and ITGA4 respectively mirror the known effects of daclizumab in multiple sclerosis and vedolizumab in inflammatory bowel disease.

Review, Journal: What Have Failed, Interrupted, and Withdrawn Antibody Therapies in Multiple Sclerosis Taught Us? (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2022 mAbs that have been proven to be safe in other autoimmune conditions, will not have the same safety profile in MS due to immunopathogenetic differences in these diseases (e.g., daclizumab)...Memory B cells are central players in MS immunopathogenesis (e.g., tabalumab)...The success of trials on remyelination-promoting therapies mainly depends on the sufficient high dose of mAb, the optimal readout for 'proof of concept', time of treatment initiation, and appropriate selection of patients. Failed strategies are highly important to better understand assumed immunopathophysiological mechanisms and optimizing future trial designs.
