Roberta Gualtierotti: Major Genomic Study Identifies Novel Fibromyalgia Risk Genes
Roberta Gualtierotti, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Milan, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Isabel Kerrebijn et al, published in Nature Medicine, adding:
“The strongest association was with a coding variant in HTT, the causal gene for Huntington’s disease.
Gene prioritization implicated the HTT regulator GPR52, as well as diverse genes with neural roles, including DCC, DRD2/NCAM1, MDGA2 and CELF4.”
