Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood |

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 16671949 |
| Year | 2006 |
| Title | Clinical behavior of multiple sclerosis is modulated by the MHC class I-chain-related gene A |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Neither HLA-B nor HLA-DR alleles were found to be associated with MS susceptibility. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | It is well known that certain HLA class II alleles confer an increased risk for developing multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies have suggested HLA class I as a region that may also contribute to the development of MS. |
