Sample information of multiple sclerosis:
| Detected Sample | peripheral blood |
| Sample Detail | N/A |
| Detected Method | PCR |
| Disease | MS |
| Disease subtype | MS |
| Population | Danes |
| Sample Size | 90MS/106Health |
Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 8739431 |
| Year | 1996 |
| Title | A repetitive DNA sequence 5’ to the human myelin basic protein gene may be linked to MS in Danes |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Our study thus indicate that there is an association between MS and a length polymorphism of the 5’ I end to the MBP gene in Danish MS patients. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The myelin basic protein (MBP) gene is a candidate locus for disease susceptibility in multiple sclerosis (MS). |
