Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease affecting genetically susceptible individuals. A genome-wide association study performed by the International MS Genetics Consortium identified several putative susceptibility genes; among these, the KLRB1 gene is represented by the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs4763655. We could confirm a marginally significant association between rs4763655 and MS (P=0.046, odds ratio=1.06 (1.00-1.13)) in a large Scandinavian case-control study of 5367 MS patients and 4485 controls. The expression of KLRB1 in blood from MS patients was higher compared with healthy controls (P
