Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | We observed a statistically significant increase in TNF-a 857 CC genotype in MS patients than controls (P < 0.001) while TNF-a 857 CT genotype showed a significant negative correlation with MS patients (P = 0.033). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
