Gene expression data were obtained in samples microdissected from 5 non-pathological control brains (5 WM and 6 GM areas) and 10 MS brains (14 NAWM, 13 actively demyelinating WM lesions, 8 chronic active WM lesions and 24 subpial chronic GM lesions). Figures represent p values for statistically significant differences in gene expression between control and MS brain parenchymal samples, as assessed by Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05 without Bonferroni correction; when applying the Bonferroni correction, the significance threshold was p < 0.017); n.s., not significant.
