Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 10680811 |
| Year | 2000 |
| Title | Genetic analysis of vitamin D related genes in Canadian multiple sclerosis patients. Canadian Collaborative Study Group |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Within the DBP gene, TDT analysis of the HaeIII and StyI genotypes showed no preferential transmission of any allele to affected offspring. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency has been demonstrated in MS patients.DBP is involved in the metabolism and function of vitamin D. |
