Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an established treatment for relapsing multiple sclerosis with unclear mechanism of action. Here the authors distinguish DMF responders by monocyte counts and redox gene signature in a prospective longitudinal cohort at 3 month of therapy, and associate NOX3 genetic variants with outcome.
