A recent study has identified a variant of the SLC9A9 gene that is associated with the clinical response to IFN-β treatment. IFN-β induces SLC9A9 expression, resulting in inhibition of proinflammatory T lymphocytes. The findings suggest a key role for this gene in determining the response to IFN-β in patients with multiple sclerosis.
