Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | N/A |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR-RFLP |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12358847 |
| Year | 2002 |
| Title | Analysis of -631 and -475 interleukin-2 promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | We have found a low frequency of both SNPs and no differences between MS patient and control groups, it appears that these polymorphisms have no significant influence in MS susceptibility. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
