Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | N/A |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 7929801 |
| Year | 1994 |
| Title | TAP 1 and TAP 2 transporter gene polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis: no evidence for disease association with TAP |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | No significant differences in the frequencies of TAP polymorphisms were observed between both groups |
| Mechanism/Pathway | These data suggest that TAP is not a susceptibility gene for MS |
