    Abstract:
    The multiple sclerosis is a complex disease of the central nervous system with the pronounced hereditary predisposition. The purpose of our research consisted in acknowledgement of the assumption on importance of apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) polymorphism in exon 4 in development of the multiple sclerosis in ethnic Russians. Research was lead on the samples independently collected in Moscow (106 patients and 189 persons of control group), Sverdlovsk area (54 and 109, accordingly) and republic Bashkortostan (119 and 285, accordingly). 2059C/T and 2197C/T polymorphisms of APOE gene, which determine aminoacid substitutions C112R and R158C in apolipoprotein E, were determined by polymerase chain reaction with the following restriction analysis of amplicons. There was not detected statistically significant distinctions on genotypes frequencies and alleles frequencies between control group and group of patients with multiple sclerosis. APOE*4 allele is not assosiated with risk of development of the multiple sclerosis at ethnic Russians.
