Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 12926843 |
| Year | 2003 |
| Title | Polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E and Japanese patients with multiple sclerosis |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | N/A |
| Main Result | negative |
| Result | Although the low rate of epsilon4 allele in Japan should be taken into consideration, our results showed no relation between APOE gene polymorphisms and Japanese patients with MS. |
