We investigated the association and linkage with MS of the following immune-system genes polymorphisms: HLA-DRB1,CTLA4,TGFB1,IL4,CCR5 andRANTES, as well as of the matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase  1 (TIMP1) genes polymorphisms. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-DRB1 and myeloid sarcoma.
