Abstract excerpt
Two polymorphisms of the CTLA-4 gene were genotyped in 232 sibling pairs affected with multiple sclerosis (MS) from 185 families. The CTLA-4 polymorphisms genotyped were a 3' untranslated (AT)(n) microsatellite and an alanine/threonine RFLP of exon 1. There was no evidence observed for linkage by either identity-by-descent (ibd) or identity-by-state (ibs) methods. A transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was...
