Better knowledge about the possible role of genetic factors in modulating the response to
multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment, including rehabilitation, known to promote neural …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-lasting inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the
central nervous system caused by an inappropriate attack of the body's immune system on …

Introduction: Vitamin D has attracted a lot of attention in relation to multiple sclerosis (MS)
and many other disorders; however, the evidence for a major role (s) for vitamin D in MS is …

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neuro-inflammatory disease of
central nervous system affecting physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of patients …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease with a multifactorial etiology. The HLA-
DRB1* 15 allele, is the main genetic risk factor for MS in Caucasians; recent findings …

Background and Objectives Observational studies suggest low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin
D (25 [OH] D) may be associated with increased disease activity in people with multiple …

Background. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Low
vitamin D levels have been reported to be a risk factor for MS, and genetic variances could …

OBJECTIVES: Reports of immunomodulating effects of vitamin D suggest a need for
examining allele and genotype frequencies of the vitamin D nuclear receptor gene (VDR) in …

Objective: We sought to estimate the causal effect of low serum 25 (OH) D on multiple
sclerosis (MS) susceptibility that is not confounded by environmental or lifestyle factors or …

Relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and the risk of systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE) from the published reports are still conflicting. This study was …
