Sample information of multiple sclerosis:

Detected Sample	peripheral blood
Sample Detail	N/A
Detected Method	PCR
Disease	MS
Disease subtype	N/A
Population	northeast Scotland
Sample Size	50 patients and 76 healthy unrelated controls

Literature information of multiple sclerosis :

Pubmed ID	2567726
Year	1989
Title	An Allelic Cluster of DQa Restriction Fragments Is Associated with Multiple Sclerosis: Evidence That a Second Haplotype May Influence Disease Susceptibility

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Negative
Result	No polymorphism discriminating between MS and control pools was seen using DRB, DPa, DPB, TcRa, orTcRB geneprobes
Mechanism/Pathway	The use of DNA pooled from groups of patients and controls from northeast Scotland enabled the screening of 14 restriction endonucleases with five HLA-D region probes (DPa, DPB, DQa, DQRB) and two T-cell antigen receptor probes
