Genetic Links Between Obesity and MS by Iván Gamboa ardila is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates the shared genetic architecture between obesity and multiple sclerosis (MS), revealing a significant positive genetic correlation and identifying 39 shared risk SNPs. The research indicates that body mass index (BMI) has a causal association with MS, with the gene GGNBP2 being consistently identified as a risk gene. These findings provide insights into the potential mechanisms behind the comorbidity of obesity and MS, suggesting avenues for future therapeutic developments.
