Abstract
A new study of a Taiwanese cohort found a high prevalence of resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Resolved HBV was found in 63.4% of people with NMOSD, compared with 16.4% in healthy controls, equating to a 5.7-fold increased risk of NMOSD following HBV infection. Furthermore, resolved HBV was associated with later onset of NMOSD and higher disability scores compared with individuals without HBV infection when adjusted for age and sex, suggesting that the immune response to HBV could contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis.
期刊介绍：
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
