Abstract

The impact of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CD24 gene on the risk and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) was investigated in the Iranian population. Our data revealed that the susceptibility and the progression of MS in individuals with the CD24V/V genotype were greater than in those with the CD24A/V and CD24A/A genotypes. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
