AB  - Multiple sclerosis (MS), a noncurable autoimmune neurodegenerative disease, requires constant research that could improve understanding of both environmental and genetic factors that lead to its occurrence and/or progression. Recognition of the genetic basis of MS further leads to an investigation of the regulatory role of genetic variants on gene expression. Among risk variants for MS, Ikaros zinc finger 3 (IKZF3) gene variant rs12946510 was identified as one of the top-ranked and the expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) for genes residing in chromosomal locus 17q12- 21. The study aimed to investigate the association of gene expression of the immunologically relevant genes, which map to indicated locus, ORMDL3, GSDMB, and IKZF3, with MS and rs12946510 genotype, taking into account disease phase, clinical parameters of disease progression, and severity and immunomodulatory therapy. We used TaqMan® technology for both allelic discrimination and gene expression determination in 67 relapsing MS patients and 50 healthy controls. Decreased ORMDL3 and GSDMB mRNA levels had significant associations with MS and rs12946510 TT rare homozygote among patients. Significant positive correlations between ORMDL3 and GSDMB mRNA expression were observed in both patients and controls. We detected the significant between-effect of sex and rs12946510 on the expression of ORMDL3 in the patient group and interferon β therapy and rs12946510 on GSDMB expression. Our results show the association of ORMDL3 and GSDMB mRNA expression with the clinical manifestation of MS and confirm that IKZF3 rs12946510 exerts the eQTL effect on both genes in multiple sclerosis. Besides providing novel insight related to MS phases and interferon β therapy, the study results confirm previous studies on regulatory genetic variants, autoimmunity, and MS.
