An association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)
complex, a dense cluster of genes on the short arm of chromosome 6, was first noted over …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system
(CNS). Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the etiology of MS. MS …

This study was designed to examine the immunogenetic background predisposing to
multiple sclerosis (MS). Three hundred fifty‐eight clinically well‐characterized MS patients …

We have completed a whole genome screen for association with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a
Belgian population. The 6000 microsatellite markers provided through the Genetic …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system white
matter characterized by inflammation, demyelination and axonal damage. The cytotoxic T …

Identifying common sequence variations known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
in human populations is one of the current objectives of the human genome project. Nearly 3 …

We tested the hypothesis that susceptibility to relapsing-progressive (RP)(but not to
relapsing-remitting [RR]) multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with a gene linked to the TcR …

The role of genetic factors in the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been clearly
demonstrated but the loci determining susceptibility to this disease remain largely …

The association of some HLA class II alleles with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been amply
documented. In the present study the role of HLA class II haplotypes and genotypes and of …

A total of 267 families with two or more siblings with multiple sclerosis (MS) were genotyped
with 14 restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the TCR β locus. A nonparametric …
