ABSTRACT
Allelic variants of genes encoding for the Fc gamma receptors IIIA and IIA have been associated with the clinical response to cell-depleting antibodies in lymphoma patients. Here, we tested the hypothesis that FCGR3A and FCGR2A high-affinity polymorphisms predict clinical outcomes to alemtuzumab therapy in 85 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. No differences in clinical and MRI-based efficacy parameters, the development of severe infusion-associated reactions and secondary autoimmune diseases during a 2 year follow-up was observed based on FCGR3A or FCGR2A polymorphisms. This study does not support the use of FCGR genetic variants to predict clinical outcomes to alemtuzumab.
