Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | positive |
| Result | CD6, CLEC16a, EVI5, GPC5, and TYK2 contained SNPs that are associated with MS risk in the African American data set. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Allelic variants of GPC5 may affect neuronal repair and contribute to differences in MS susceptibility. |
