| Title | Vitamin D-binding protein gene polymorphisms are not associated with MS risk in an Italian cohort |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | None of the polymorphisms showed any association with MS onset and progression. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) gene encodes for Gc, an α2 globulin that transports vitamin D metabolites in serum. |
