Aim:
To analyze the involvement of immune response genes in the pathogenesis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).
Material And Methods:
This multicenter study included 111 patients with PPMS from the Russian ethnic group. The association of PPMS with genes of immune system was analyzed by the study of polymorphic variants of genes of cytokines and genes of antigen-presenting cells.
Results And Conclusion:
The genotypes of IL-4 (rs2243250)*C/C and CLEC16A (rs6498169)*G/G were associated with PPMS in Russians. The association between the HLA-DRB1*15 and PPMS found out in other populations was confirmed in Russians.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
