Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk ; Phenotypic risk
Main Result	Negative
Result	After Bonferroni corrections were made there was no statistical significance in the association between HLA-B*5101 alleles and MS in total MS patients and controls.In addition there was no statistical significant difference in frequencies of HLA-B alleles between the two subgroups.
Mechanism/Pathway	N/A
