Findings with semaphorin 7A and ala-β-his-dipeptidase were also validated in the second replication study, and CSF levels for these two proteins were again decreased in MS converters versus non-converters (P = 1.2 × 10(-4) for semaphorin 7A; P = 3.7 × 10(-8) for ala-β-his-dipeptidase). Here, SEMA7A is linked to myeloid sarcoma.
