Popis: | Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with HLA-DRB1 * 1501. Many reports have suggested associations with other loci but these results remain unconfirmed. We studied the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) gene polymorphism and the HLA-DR and DQ allele frequencies by DNA-based methods in both the primary chronic progressive form (PP MS) and the relapsing/remitting form (R/R MS). The frequency of DRB1 * 1501 and IL-1ra allele 2 were significantly higher in R/R MS. Association was more marked in the female sex and in patients with benign forms of R/R MS. On the other hand DR4 subtypes carrying a Val at position 86 in the DR β chain were increased in PP MS. The present study indicates that MS is genetically heterogeneous and shows a combined effect of HLA-DR and IL-1ra genes in susceptibility to the R/R form of the disease. |
