We found that low-producer allele CCL5–403G was associated with reduced risk of severe axonal loss, whereas high-producer allele CCL5–403A was associated with a worse clinical disease course measured by the MS Functional Composite Score and MS Severity Score. Low-producer allele CCR5 + 303G was associated with reduced T2 hyperintense and T1 hypointense lesion volumes on MRI, and high-producer allele CCR5 + 303A with early age at onset. Furthermore, low-producer allele CCR5Δ32 was associated with reduced T2 lesion volume, lower black hole ratio on MRI, and with a higher percentage of lesions with signs of remyelination, histopathologically.
In summary, our multifaceted study supports the notion that polymorphisms in CCL5 and CCR5 modify the course of MS.
