Project description:We studied the gene expression patterns in PBMC from relapsing remitting MS patients undergoing weekly IFN-ß-1a therapy. On the basis of two fold changes in expression levels and statistical analyses we selected a diagnostic set of 137 genes that were differentially expressed between pretreatment and IFN-ß-1a-treated MS patients. Some these 137 genes may provide the basis for lack of IFN-ß-1a response. Keywords: Drug response to Interferon beta therapy in Multiple Sclerosis patients.
