Claim One:
1. A method for diagnosing multiple sclerosis, predicting risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or predicting an out-come of multiple sclerosis in a patient suffering from or at risk of developing multiple sclerosis, said method comprising the steps of: a) determining in a sample from said patient, the expression level of at least one miRNA selected from the group consisting of hsa-miR-16-2-3p, hsa-miR-22-5p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, hsa-miR-629-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-151a-3p, and hsa-miR-7-1-3p. b) comparing the pattern of expression level(s) determined in step a) with one or several reference pattern(s) of expression levels; and c) diagnosing multiple sclerosis, predicting a risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or predicting an outcome of multiple sclerosis from the outcome of the comparison in step b).
