Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	21396892
Year	2010
Title	HLA-DRB association in neuromyelitis optica is different from that observed in multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Positive
Result	DRB5 overrepresented in MS patients
Mechanism/Pathway	these results indicate that the DRB profile of NMO patients is different from that observed for MS patients, further corroborating the distinction between NMO and MS
