Consistent allelic imbalance was observed for rs907091 in IKZF3 and rs11609 in IQGAP1, which are in strong linkage disequilibrium with the multiple sclerosis associated single nucleotide polymorphisms rs12946510 and rs8042861, respectively.
Using multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls heterozygous for rs907091 and rs11609, we showed that the multiple sclerosis risk alleles at IKZF3 and IQGAP1 are expressed at higher levels as compared to the protective allele.
Finally, genotype-phenotype correlation is not obvious in our cohort with CRD; even if, the Canadian subjects with the allele 409G>A had a more severe degree (P<0.001) of hypocholesterolemia than the other patients, many clinical data are inconsistent with a hypothetical genotype-phenotype correlation.
