Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | N/A |
| Population | French population |
| Sample Size | 74 MS cases and 75 controls |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 10773851 |
| Year | 2000 |
| Title | TNF-alpha polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis: no association with -238 and -308 promoter alleles, but the microsatellite allele a11 is associated with the disease in French patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | No significant differences regarding the TNF-alpha -238 and -308 polymorphisms were observed between MS patients and controls. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | these differences could not be attributed to these promoter polymorphisms in our own study |
