Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: A diagnosis of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RR-MS) according to the revised McDonald criteria, >5 years after diagnosis. (n=200) A diagnosis of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SP-MS) according to the revised McDonald criteria (n=30) A diagnosis of Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PP-MS) according to the revised McDonald criteria (n=30) Age 18-55 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: recent diagnosis of RR-MS (low probability of converting to Secondary Progressive MS (SP-MS)).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the miRNA profle in blood or CSF. The main clinical enpoint in the longitudinal study is the conversion from RR-MS to SP-MS. These data will be used to develop and validate a miRNA profile based test for the accurate identification of conversion to SPMS.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In addition analysis of observed miRNA profiles in different MS-types will provide insight in the (differences in) underlying disease mechanisms.
