Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 7530769 |
| Year | 1994 |
| Title | The myelin basic protein gene is not a major susceptibility locus for multiple sclerosis in Italian patients |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Risk Type | Disease risk |
| Main Result | Negative |
| Result | Our data indicate that in the Italian population the myelin basic protein gene does not play a major role in conferring genetic susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. |
| Mechanism/Pathway | a significant association between MS and a multiallelic polymorphism identified upstream from the 5" end of the human MBP gene on chromosome 18. |
