Abstract
AbstractSeveral genetic and environmental factors are thought to be associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), the influence of which can differ between ethnicities. One of the most important risk factors for MS is low serum levels of vitamin D, and these levels also differ between ethnicities, probably mainly because of differences in skin pigmentation. Furthermore, genetic influences in vitamin D‐related genes might also vary between ethnicities, reflecting different genetic backgrounds. The present review article discusses the association between vitamin D and MS, with a focus on Asians and Caucasians.
