| Pubmed ID | 10505747 |
| Year | 1999 |
| Title | Analysis of an IFN-g gene (IFNG) Polymorphism in Multiple Sclerosis in Europe: Effect of Population Structure on Association with Disease |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | I2 is significantly more often transmitted to DRB1*032/*042 males, than to DRB1*032/*042 females. The odds ratio (OR) for IFNG-associated susceptibility to MS in the total Sardinian DRB1*032/*042 group was 1.88 for I2 heterozygotes but amounted to 8.235 for I2 homozygotes, suggestive of a recessive mode of inheritance |
| Mechanism/Pathway | a recessive mode of inheritance |
