Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 gene region have been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The recently described single nucleotide polymorphism CT60, located in the 3' untranslated region of CTLA4 is associated with Graves' disease, thyroiditis, autoimmune diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. A case-control association study was conducted in German, Hungarian and Polish multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and regional control individuals for the CTLA4 CT60 and +49A/G polymorphisms. No significant association of these polymorphisms or respective haplotypes with MS was found. No association of CT60 genotypes with T cell expression of ICOS and CTLA-4 after in vitro stimulation was detected.

Unlabelled: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a pathology that mainly affects the young population, causing irreversible disability without treatment. The national multiple sclerosis program improves access to diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
Aim: Describe the biggest cohort of patients with RRMS in the Chilean public health system, analyze the impact of the national program in the clinical evolution and the diagnostic opportunity (time in years between the first outbreak and entry into the program) before and after 2010, date of incorporation of the pathology to the explicit health guarantees program (GES) of the Ministry of Health (MINSAL).

Background: The health of children is affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in their parents and various complications of it. Given this, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of a program based on Roy's adaptation model on the coping skills of children of MS patients.
Materials And Methods: This study was performed on 78 children of 78 MS patients from Shahrekord Support Association of MS patients including around 1800 patient members in 2018 using a quasi-experimental method.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent long-term inflammatory condition affecting the central nervous system in adults. However, seizures are rarely described as the first presentation of MS or as a sole manifestation of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). The diagnosis of MS typically requires clinical evidence of neurological deficits and supportive radiological findings; however, RIS is characterized by incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings suggestive of MS in the absence of clinical symptoms.

Traditional Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) metrics are affected by crossing fibers and lesions. Most of the previous tractometry works use the single diffusion tensor, which leads to limited sensitivity and challenging interpretation of the results in crossing fiber regions. In this work, we propose a tractometry pipeline that combines white matter tractography with multi-tensor fixel-based metrics.
