Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 21303861 |
| Year | 2011 |
| Title | Smoking and two human leukocyte antigen genes interact to increase the risk for multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Positive |
| Result | Among those with both genetic risk factors, smoking increased the risk by a factor of 2.8 in comparison with a factor of 1.4 among those without the genetic risk factors. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Both genetic and environmental factors display low or modest associations with multiple sclerosis. Hypothetically, gene–envir-onment interactions may exert much stronger effects. In this study, we investigated potential interactions between genetic risk factors and smoking in relation to risk of developing multiple sclerosis. |
