Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the relationship between the frequency of exacerbations and the rate of progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and polymorphisms of the calcitriol receptor gene VDR FokI (rs2228570), BSMI (rs1544410), TaqI (rs731236), ApaI (rs7975232).
Material and methods. Ninety patients with relapsing-remitting MS took part in the study. All patients are Caucasians, were born and lived in the Altai region of the Russian Federation. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan probes.
Results. A protective effect of the TT genotype VDR FokI (rs2228570) on the risk of increasing disability of more than 0.75 points per year according to the expanded disability scale was found (p = 0.034). The protective effect of the TT genotype of the TaqI polymorphism (rs731236) on exacerbations of MS more than once a year (p = 0.041) was also revealed. Associations of the MS course with other studied polymorphisms were not found.
Conclusions. It can be assumed that the VDR FokI (rs2228570) and TaqI (rs731236) polymorphisms may influence the course of relapsing-remitting MS. The mechanisms of these influences may include the modulation of immune-inflammatory responses in the central nervous system, which are a key link in the MS pathogenesis.
