Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is extensively expressed in multiple sclerosis lesions suggesting that regulatory variants of the COX-2 gene could be implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS). Screening of the proximal 5' regulatory region and genotyping of -765G>C and -62C>G showed that polymorphisms in this COX-2 region are unlikely to be involved in MS susceptibility.
