Many MS genetic risk factors are shared across ancestral backgrounds, but European-focused studies may miss others, per a study.

Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in ...
