Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	20087403
Year	2010
Title	Tag-SNP analysis of the GFI1-EVI5-RPL5-FAM69 risk locus for multiple sclerosis

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Positive
Result	This Tag-SNP captures two SNPs in complete linkage disequilibrium (r21), both located within the 17th intron of the EVI5 gene. Our findings agree with the corresponding data of the recent IMSGC study and present new genetic evidence that points to EVI5 as a factor of susceptibility to MS
Mechanism/Pathway	We observed an association with MS in three of eight Tag-SNPs: rs11804321 (P0.008, OR1.29; 95% CI1.08–1.54), rs11808092 (P0.048, OR1.19; 95% CI1.03–1.39) and rs6680578 (P0.0082, OR1.23; 95% CI1.07–1.41)
