For rs10766197 of CYP2R1 gene: GG: wild homozygous; GA: heterozygous; AA: polymorphic homozygous. For rs10877012 of CYP2B1 gene: GG: wild homozygous; GT: heterozygous; TT: polymorphic homozygous. Qualitative variables were expressed as frequency and percentage. Quantitative variables were expressed as median and min-max. Comparisons between medians were performed using Mann–Whitney test. Comparison between proportions was performed using Chi-square test (or Fisher exact test if applicable). values were obtained comparing multiple sclerosis versus control group. Serum levels of 25(OH) vitamin D were determined in 107 healthy controls.
