IL7 regulates T cell survival, differentiation and proliferation. The alpha chain of its receptor, CD127, is polymorphic, and its haplotypes are associated with recovery from transplantation and with the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS), especially primary progressive MS (PPMS). We demonstrate that two CD127 haplotypes are highly associated with the proportion of the mRNA encoding the soluble isoform of CD127 (P
