Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	19240957
Year	2009
Title	Candidate gene analysis of selectin cluster in patients with multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Negative
Result	No significant differences in either allelic or genotypic frequency in all the SNPs tested were found in the Italian population. A tendency to an increased frequency of the rs6133 T allele was observed in the American population, but applying the Bonferroni correction the significance threshold was not reached.
Mechanism/Pathway	the selectin gene cluster studied likely does not influence the susceptibility to MS in Caucasians.
