In 87 MS patients treated with IFN-β, ADC values were calculated for 13 regions of normal-appearing white and grey matter (NAWM, NAGM) based on MRI performed with a 1.5 T magnet before (MS0, n = 45) or after one year of therapy (MS1, n = 42). The gene discussed is IFNB1; the disease is myeloid sarcoma.
