Sample information of multiple sclerosis:

Detected Sample	peripheral blood samples
Sample Detail	peripheral blood samples
Detected Method	PCR
Disease	MS
Disease subtype	N/A
Population	the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary
Sample Size	case = 186 patients with MS;control = 211 unrelated Caucasian individuals

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	10580805
Year	1999
Title	Interleukin-10 (IL10) promoter polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Expression	none
Risk type	Disease risk
Result	IL10 polymorphism does not appear to be associated with MS or to influence disease progression
Mechanism/Pathway	However, from this study it is apparent that there is no inherent genetic influence of IL10 production on the cause of or on the outcome of MS.
