| Multiple sclerosis (MS), is characterized as an inflammatory demyelinating disease that the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. Between genetic factors, differences in a group of genes on chromosome 6 that characterized as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been repeatedly confirmed to be associated with multiple sclerosis. Cytokine IL-7 is a 25– kDaglycoprotein that has an important role in Lymphopoiesis. Interleukin VII receptor gene has been identified to be associated with multiple sclerosis, so its assessment is important Polymorphisms (single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)) in a number of non-HLA genes such as interleukin-7 receptor-α (IL-7Rα)/IL-7 pathway is associated with an increased risk to develop multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study we aimed to investgate the role of interleukin-7 receptor-α (IL-7Rα)/IL-7 as a risk factor for incidence of Multiple sclerosis. |
