MS subjects were genotyped for five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with susceptibility to AD: PICALM, CR1, CLU, PCK1, and ZNF224. We assessed brain volume using Brain Parenchymal Fraction (BPF) measurements obtained from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data and cognitive function using the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT). This evidence concerns the gene ZNF224 and myeloid sarcoma.
