Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 10730325 |
| Year | 2000 |
| Title | Multiple sclerosis: epidemiological-genetic studies in the population of Antioquia, Colombia. Disequilibrium of HLA DQ alpha |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Similar results have been described in other Caucasian populations living in non tropical areas. Before results could indicate that the Caucasoid populations genetic component implied in the susceptibility to MS have remained in Paisa community, whether the environmental component, being meaningful to develop MS. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Discrimination and quantification of the environmental and genetic components involved in developing multiple sclerosis (MS) have not been made. In order to discriminate these components we have ascertained affected individuals by MS belonging to the Paisa community from Antioquia, Colombia, a state localized in the tropical area of South America, to detect eventual linkage disequilibrium to HLA, locus DQ alpha, which could demonstrate the relevance of the genetic component. |
