Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12420096 |
| Year | 2002 |
| Title | Lack of evidence for a role of the myelin basic protein gene in multiple sclerosis susceptibility in Sardinian patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | W e concluded that the MBP gene does not play a role in MS susceptibility in Sardini-ans. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | A link between myelin basic protein (MBP) polymor-phism and multiple sclerosis (MS)has been reported in some popula-tions but not in others |
