Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Phenotypic risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | The annualized relapse rate in the rs2104286-TT genotype MS patients was significantly higher than that in the non-TT (CT+CC) genotype MS patients.The increased relapse rates in the rs2104286-TT genotype MS patients were only observed in females, and not in males. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
