Gene: [00.0/RVTL1S1] human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 site integration 1; multiple sclerosis (disseminated sclerosis)?; tropical spastic paraparesis?; [MS MSSG ]


COM

MIM does not consider this marker (MIM:126200) as independent, since it has been assumed to be tightly linked to the HLA complex in chr 6p (MS susceptibility gene, MSSG)."

FAG

Mengle-Gaw/Rabbitts-1987 discussed the possible site of HTLV1 retrovirus insertion within the chr 8 PVTL locus (GEM:08q241/MYCA). This would activate the MYC oncogene and lead to malignancy. However, the identity of this site to the reserved *RVTL1S1 is not determined."

HIS

Reddy-1988 (the laboratory of H.Koprowski, The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia) demonstrated that multiple sclerosis patients express some antigens of human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1), the provirus genome being integrated into lymphocyte DNA, from which it can be cloned."
