Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12020968 |
| Year | 2002 |
| Title | Production of IL-1beta and IL-1Ra as risk factors for susceptibility and progression of relapse-onset multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Taq1 polymorphism in the IL-1beta gene and the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism of 86-base pairs within the IL-1Ra gene cannot explain these findings |
| Mechanism/Pathway | N/A |
