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

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12098513 |
| Year | 2002 |
| Title | Estrogen receptor gene polymorphism and multiple sclerosis in Japanese patients: interaction with HLA-DRB1*1501 and disease modulation |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | The genotype and allele frequencies of Xba polymorphism were similar in MS patients and controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Biological actions of estrogen are mediated through intranuclear estrogen receptors, and estrogen receptors (ER) are expressed in cells involved in the immune response. |
