Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations
Professor Astrid Iversen discusses research published in Nature, using historic genome data to investigate the emergence of genetic risk for multiple sclerosis in Northern Europe. This episode discusses Barrie, W, Yang, Y, Irving-Pease, EK, et al. Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations. Nature 625, 321–328 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06618-z
Article funding and acknowledgments: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06618-z#Ack1
This study was international and multidisciplinary in nature, and Professor Iversen is grateful for the vital work done by Professor Willerslev, his group, and their collaborators. Professor Iversen also gratefully acknowledges the critical contributions of the shared first authors – William Barrie, Yaoling Yang, Evan K. Irving-Pease, Kathrine E. Attfield, Gabriele Scorrano, and Lise Torp Jensen – as well as those of fellow shared last authors: Daniel J. Lawson, Lars Fugger, and Eske Willerslev.
