Abstract
It seems that individuals carrying APOEâε4 allele and/or APOE-ε3ε4 genotype develop MS two times more than non-carriers. Also APOE-ε2ε3 genotype or APOE-ε2 allele may have a protective role against MS development in Iranian population. Further investigation would be warranted to understand the role of APOE alleles and genotypes and risk of MS.
