| dbXrefs | Ensembl:ENSG00000197971 MIM:159430; AllianceGenome:HGNC:6925 |
| Map Location | 18q23 |
| Variation Type | Gene polymorphisms |
| refSNP ID | a tetranucleotide (TGGA)n repeat polymorphism 5' |
Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | N/A |
| Population | Belgian population |
| Sample Size | 67 MS cases and 72 controls |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 7515903 |
| Year | 1994 |
| Title | Myelin basic protein gene polymorphism is not associated with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Our results indicate that there is no association between MS and a polymorphism 5' to the MBP gene |
| Mechanism/Pathway | We could not identify any significant difference in allele or genotype frequencies between MS patients and controls for the MBP alleles studied |
