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 | 12618863 |
| Year | 2003 |
| Title | Pharmacogenomic analysis of interferon receptor polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Treatment risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | In addition, no significant association was observed of any of the IFNAR gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to MS, as studied by a family-based association analysis |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Interferon beta (IFNbeta) has been shown to decrease clinical relapses, reduce brain disease activity |
