Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) is clearly associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*1501, but some studies show associations with HLA-B7 and -B18. These are often co-expressed with DRB1*1501 in the ancestral haplotypes (AH) denoted 7.1 (HLA-A3, B7, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]a11b4, DRB1*1501) and 18.1 (HLA-A25, B18, TNFa10b4, DRB 1*1501). Here we present a systematic study of 218 patients and...
