Servicio de Neurología, Hospital Donostia, San Sebastián, Spain The allele C in the CD24 gene has been related to multiple sclerosis (MS). In this work we check this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a population of 135 patients and 285 controls. Our results confirm the association between the V/V genotype at aa 57 of this gene and MS and highlight the importance of taking into account the origin of the subjects to avoid a population bias.
