Investigating the Potential Influence of Genetic Variants and Protein Levels on Multiple Sclerosis Development.

The study aimed to investigate the association between the gene (rs860170, rs978739, rs1357949), TAS2R16 serum levels, and multiple sclerosis (MS). A total of 265 healthy control subjects and 218 MS patients were included in the study. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
