Results of multiple sclerosis :

Risk Type	Disease risk
Main Result	Negative
Result	We identified association of haplotypes composed of two non synonymous SNPs [rs11230563 (R225W) and rs2074225(A257V)] in the 2nd SRCR domain with susceptibility to MS.
Mechanism/Pathway	CD6 is a cell surface scavenger receptor involved in T-cell activation and proliferation, as well as in thymocyte differentiation.
