ST6GAL1 and myeloid sarcoma: The LA lists from NCI_cDNA data and NCI_Affy data also yielded several highly relevant candidate genes for MS, such as MAG, IRF1, APOE, EIV2A, and PDGFA. Also of interest are SIAT8A, SIAT1, SOX4, SOX9, and EPHA2. The protein encoded by MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein) is involved in the process of myelination [30] and binds to sialic acid.
