Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 19654877 |
| Year | 2009 |
| Title | Association between Protective and Deleterious HLA Alleles with Multiple Sclerosis in Central East Sardinia |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | We found both class I (A, Cw, B) and class II (DR, DQ) loci to have an effect on MS susceptibility, but we saw that they act independently from each other. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex on chromosome 6p21 has been unambiguously associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) |
