Abstract excerpt
As the understanding of the autoimmune inflammatory response in multiple sclerosis (MS) expands, polymorphic genes involved in this process become possible candidates that may determine the severity of disease. Therefore, three candidate genes DRB1*1501, CCR5 and apolipoprotein E (APOE) were examined in a population-based patient sample (n = 70) to assess an association between disease progression measured by...
