In this study, we determined the association between rs6897932 in interleukin 7 receptor α (IL7Ra) gene and the risk and disability progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) in 270 MS patients and 303 controls. We found allele C to be associated with the risk of MS and minor allele T to be protective against MS development. Moreover, we revealed for the first time that rs6897932 in IL7Ra gene is associated with the progression of MS, evaluated by MSSS scores. The minor allele T and genotype TT are protective against a rapid disability progression in MS in the Central European Slovak population.
在本研究中,我们在270例多发性硬化症(MS)患者和303例对照中确定了白细胞介素7受体α(IL7Ra)基因中的rs6897932与MS风险及残疾进展之间的关联。我们发现等位基因C与MS风险相关,而次要等位基因T对MS发展具有保护作用。此外,我们首次揭示,通过MSSS评分评估,IL7Ra基因中的rs6897932与MS进展相关。在中欧斯洛伐克人群中,次要等位基因T和基因型TT对MS患者快速残疾进展具有保护作用。
