Association of CNS demyelination and COVID-19 infection: an updated systematic review

Ismail Ibrahim Ismail et al.

Summary: This systematic review investigates the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and CNS demyelination, revealing various types of demyelination in COVID-19 patients, with encephalitis/encephalomyelitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) being the common manifestations. The relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and CNS demyelination needs further clarification in future research.

Herpes zoster preceding neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: casual or causal relationship? A systematic literature review

Emanuela Claudia Turco et al.

Summary: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is characterized by recurrent inflammatory events primarily involving optic nerves and the spinal cord. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection may trigger NMOSD attacks, especially in female patients.

Rare variants and HLA haplotypes associated in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders

Inna Tabansky et al.

Summary: In this study, the authors identified rare genetic variants in the complement pathway and potassium channel genes in NMOSD patients using a retrospective case-control approach. They also found two HLA haplotypes that were more prevalent in NMOSD patients. These findings provide insights into the possible mechanisms of NMOSD and can be useful for investigating potential drug targets.

Longitudinal analysis reveals high prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus associated with multiple sclerosis

Kjetil Bjornevik et al.

Summary: This study suggests that multiple sclerosis may be caused by Epstein-Barr virus, with no direct association with other viral infections. These findings provide clues to the primary cause of MS.

Common genetic variants inPRRC2Aare associated with both neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis in Han Chinese population

Juan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study explored the association between PRRC2A variants and susceptibility to NMOSD and MS in the Han Chinese population. Certain PRRC2A variants were found to alter susceptibility to AQP4(+)NMOSD and MS, with specific genotypes increasing the risk. Additionally, haplotypes and gene expression levels associated with these variants were identified, suggesting potential implications for personalized therapeutic approaches in these disease entities.

Herpesvirus infections and Alzheimer's disease: a Mendelian randomization study

Shu-Yi Huang et al.

Summary: The study found a significant association between mononucleosis (caused by EBV) and AD risk, indicating a causal link between EBV infection and AD. Additionally, genetically predicted shingles were associated with AD risk, while genetically predicted chickenpox was suggestively associated with increased family history of AD.
