Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 9668164 |
| Year | 1998 |
| Title | DRB1–DQA1–DQB1 loci and multiple sclerosis predisposition in the Sardinian population |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Cross-ethnic comparison between the two HLA haplotypes associated with MS in Sardi-nians and the DRB1*1501 (DR2)–DQA1*0102–DQB1*0602 haplotype, associated with MS in other Caucasian populations, failed to identify any shared epitopes in the DR and DQ molecules that segregated with disease sus-ceptibility. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Previous genetic analyses have suggested that the MHC/HLA region on chromosome 6p21 contains an MS-predisposing component. |
