Anti-IgLon5 disease risk is mediated by HLA-DQB1*05 subtypes: when neuroimmunology meets neurodegeneration
Description
Welcome to the 21th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications.
This episode features a discussion with the first author Dr Selina Yogeshwar of the Brain article entitled: HLA-DQB1*05 subtypes and not DRB1*10:01 mediates risk in anti-IgLON5 disease
Dr Yogeshwar offers exciting insight into the genetic mechanisms of a relatively recently discovered disease anti-IgLON5. She also discusses foundational information into how neuroimmunology, neurogenetics and neurodegeneration intersect in this fascinating condition. This exciting episode is not to be missed!
