Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	no association
Result	we demonstrated a strong association (P = 1.09E-05) between the IL-13 1024 marker and inhalation allergy. Furthermore, we showed for the first time that this association also exists in atopic dermatitis (P = 2.0E-02). No association with MS was found.
Mechanism/Pathway	N/A
