Genetic risk factors in multiple sclerosis and approaches to their identification.

Abstract excerpt

Development of multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to involve genetic as well as environmental factors. A complicating aspect to the study of aetiological factors in MS concerns the possible existence of genetically different subtypes of the disease. In addition, a relatively large number of susceptibility genes could be involved. Most likely, the contribution of the single genes to the susceptibility to MS is...
