We investigated PvuII and YbA polymorphism in the estrogen receptor gene (ERG) and HLA-DRB1 * 1501 positivity in 116 conventional multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 101 healthy controls in a Japanese population. Logistic analysis revealed independent associations of [P] allele in the profiles for PvuII (p=0.0005, adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=3.17) and DRB1 * 1501 (p=0.0089, aOR=2.61) with conventional MS. Synergistic elevated risk of MS due to interaction between the [P] allele and HLA-DRB1 * 1501 allele was found among female patients (odds ratio=16.0; 95% CI=3.99-63.8, p<0.0001). The [P] allele-positive patients with disease duration of more than 5 years had a significantly higher progression index (PI) of disability (p=0.0230) and a worse ranked MS severity score (p=0.0152) than their non-[P] counterparts.
