In a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) conducted by the Australian and New Zealand Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium (ANZgene) [28], several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the MERTK gene (Chromosome 2q14.1, Accession Number NG_011607.1) showed suggestive association with susceptibility to MS, while SNPs within the TYRO3, AXL, GAS6 and PROS1 genes did not show any suggestive associations. This evidence concerns the gene MERTK and myeloid sarcoma.
