Interleukin (IL)-1 gene polymorphisms: relevance of disease severity associated alleles with IL-1β and IL-1ra production in multiple sclerosis

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder, with a considerable genetic influence on susceptibility and disease course. Cytokines play an important role in MS pathophysiology, and genes encoding various cytokines are logical candidates to assess possible associations with MS susce...
