PTPRC (CD45) is not associated with the development of multiple sclerosis in U.S. patients.

A C-->G nucleotide transition in exon 4 of PTPRC (encoding protein-tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type C, also known as CD45) was recently reported to be genetically associated with the development of multiple sclerosis ( MS). We performed an extensive evaluation of this polymorphism using large family-based and case-control comparisons. Overall, we observed no evidence of genetic association between the PTPRC polymorphism and MS susceptibility or disease course.[1]
