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 | 17083336 |
| Year | 2006 |
| Title | Angiotensin-converting enzyme I/D gene polymorphism and risk of multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | DD genotype of ACE gene might contribute to a higher risk of developing MS in men |
| Mechanism/Pathway | the blockade of ACE suppresses the disease itself |
