Aims: To examine the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and disease-modifying therapy (DMT) prescribing patterns in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (pwRRMS).
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among pwRRMS treated with a DMT in the neuroinflammation service at The Royal London Hospital (Barts Health NHS Trust). Study data were collected between July and September 2017.
Importance: The single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1344706 in the zinc finger protein 804A gene (ZNF804A) shows genome-wide association with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Little is known regarding the expression of ZNF804A and the functionality of rs1344706.
Objectives: To characterize ZNF804A expression in human brain and to investigate how it changes across the life span and how it is affected by rs1344706, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.
