Abbreviations: RR-MS, relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis; SP-MS. Secondary–progressive multiple sclerosis; HC, healthy control; EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale; Evol. Time: Evolution time; AOO, Age of Onset. Age, evolution time and AOO data are presented as “average (standard deviation)”, EDSS data are shown as “median (range)”.
