Analysis of allelic association between D6S461 marker and multiple sclerosis in Ashkenazi and Iraqi Jewish patients.

Abstract excerpt

A genetic factor contributing to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease risk is evident by the increased prevalence of disease among siblings of probands. A recent genome screen on Canadian sib pairs suffering from MS identified linkage between the genetic marker D6S461 and MS, and showed disequilibrium in transmission of its 260-bp allele from heterozygous parents to affected siblings (Ebers et al., 1996). The present...
