background: multiple sclerosis (ms), the most common demyelinating disease of the cns, is immunologically mediated in genetically susceptible individuals. receptors for the fc fragment of igg (fcγr) might induce inflammatory responses through linking the humoral and cellular immune responses by targeting immune complexes to effector cells. polymorphisms in some fcγr genes are associated with va...
