Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 11197688 |
| Year | 2000 |
| Title | No evidence for transmission disequilibrium between a new marker at the myelin basic protein locus and multiple sclerosis in French patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | The myelin basic protein (MBP) gene is a candidate locus for susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | The present data thus provide no evidence for a contribution ofthe MBP gene to multiple sclerosis susceptibility in French patients. |
