Some of these (CD58, had already been noted by previous investigators.[11] We were unable to find supporting evidence in this dataset for the previously reported allelic effect of the susceptibility SNP in IL7R on expression of the gene.[18] Similarly, SNPs in the IL2RA gene did not correlate with expression of IL2RA mRNA, despite previously finding altered levels of this in MS patients relative to controls.[19]. This evidence concerns the gene CD58 and myeloid sarcoma.
