Abstract
We studied the association between clinical outcome in MS and allelic variants single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1beta and a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN). A total of 377 patients with MS were studied. Significant associations between IL-1 genotypes and clinical outcome were found using logistic regression after correction for gender, onset age and disease duration. The same trends were subsequently demonstrated in a second independent group of 67 primary progressive patients. Our results suggest that genetically determined immunomodulation mediated by IL-1 influences long-term prognosis in multiple sclerosis (MS). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
