  1. PI, progression index; MSSS, Multiple Sclerosis Severity Scale; MV, macular volume; RNFL, retinal nerve fiber layer. Although our sample was too small to test other statistical associations, higher values of both PI and MSSS were present in Arg/Arg carriers among patients with undetectable IL-1β (PI: Pro/Pro 0.16 +/- 0.13, Arg/Pro 0.14 +/- 0.09, Arg/Arg 0.21 +/- 0.17; MSSS: Pro/Pro 1.73 +/- 1.62, Arg/Pro 1.73 +/- 1.68, Arg/Arg 2.61 +/- 2.33).
