Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | venous blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | Western-type MSã€Asian-type MS |
| Population | Japanese population |
| Sample Size | 53 MS cases and 113 controls |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 8871575 |
| Year | 1996 |
| Title | Western versus Asian types of multiple sclerosis: immunogenetically and clinically distinct disorders |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | the DR2-associated DRB1*1501 allele and DRB5*0101 allele were associated with Western-type MS (41.2%), but not with either Asian-type MS (0%) or healthy control subjects (14.2%) |
| Mechanism/Pathway | This finding supports a critical role of immunogenetic background in the development and manifestations of MS |
