abstract = "We investigated the association of CX3CR1 genotypes/haplotypes with MS and performed the prediction analysis of protein sequence variants effects on CX3CL1/CX3CR1 interaction. We found no association of CX3CR1 with MS susceptibility. Frequency of I249T280 haplotype was significantly lower in SP compared to RR patients (RR GT 10 years, OR=0.30, 95%CI=0.11-0.79, p=0.01: OR=0.53, 95%CI=0.18-1.56, p=0.2, in sP LT 10 years vs. RR GT 10 years). Prediction analysis showed that I249 T280 protein variant would significantly affect CX3CL1/CX3CR1 interaction. Our results suggest that CX3CR1 I249T280 haplotype could have protective effect for switch to SP MS. Further research is warranted to validate and replicate currently observed results.
