networks. Like other genes, single nucleotide polymorphism in miRNA genes can affects their function at different levels, such as miRNA transcription, maturation and target specificity. Our study is the first report of mir 23a, mir155 and mir 196a2 polymorphism in the iranian MS patients. In this case control study we examined the impact of functional mir 155 rs767649, mir196a2 rs11614913 and miR-23a rs3745453 polymorphism on MS risk in a sample of Isfahan population. We found that miR-23a rs3745453
