MOG

myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein

Nominated Target

The product of this gene is a membrane protein expressed on the oligodendrocyte cell surface and the outermost surface of myelin sheaths. Due to this localization, it is a primary target antigen involved in immune-mediated demyelination. This protein may be involved in completion and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for MOG

The TRS for MOG, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for MOG are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for MOG.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for MOG

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link MOG to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of MOG's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms MOG is annotated with.
