| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | N/A |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | RRMS |
| Population | African American |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 14669136 |
| Year | 2004 |
| Title | Mapping Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility to the HLA-DR Locus in African Americans |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | A selective association with HLA-DRB1*15 was revealed, indicating a primary role for the DRB1 locus in MS independent of DQB1*0602 |
| Mechanism/Pathway | a substantial proportion of the susceptibility chromosomes from African American patients with MS displayed haplotypes consistent with an African origin. |
