| Abstract | Immune system-related factors are important in pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. The CXC chemokine SDF-1α (CXCL12) is involved in the immune responses. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum levels of SDF-1α (CXCL12) and its gene polymorphisms at position +801 with multiple sclerosis. In this experimental study, blood samples were collected from 100 multiple sclerosis patients and 100 healthy controls on EDTA pre-coated tubes. DNA was extracted and DNA samples were analyzed for SDF-1α (CXCL12) polymorphisms using PCR–RLFP in patients and controls. The serum levels of SDF-1α (CXCL12) were measured by ELISA. Demographic data were also collected by a questionnaire which was designed specifically for this study. Our results showed a significant difference between the A/A, A/G, and G/G genotype and A and G alleles of polymorphisms at position +801 of SDF-1α (CXCL12). Our results also showed that serum levels of SDF-1α (CXCL12) were markedly higher in patients than healthy controls, but no association was observed between SDF-1α (CXCL12) polymorphism and its serum levels. The results of this study might suggest the serum levels of SDF-1α (CXCL12) and its polymorphism play an important role in pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. It is also worth noting that these factors could probably use as pivotal biological markers in the diagnosis of MS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
