Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Our results support a role for the VDR gene increasing the risk of developing multiple sclerosis, particularly the progressive clinical subtypes of MS. |
| Mechanism/Pathway |
The Taq and Apa variants are in very strong and significant linkage disequilibrium (D0 |
