Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system with a putative autoimmune aetiology in which several genes are thought to be involved. Four published genomic screens have confirmed that a gene influencing MS resides within or close to the HLA class II region in 6p21. Still, this locus is likely to confer only a part of the genetic susceptibility in MS. Further, all four studies...
