A link between myelin basic protein (MBP) polymorphism and multiple sclerosis (MS) has been reported in some populations but not in others. We analysed two polymorphisms in the 5' flanking region of the MBP exon 1 gene in MS patients from the founder population of Sardinia. Using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), MBP polymorphisms were analysed in 363 singleton MS families. No distortion in transmission...
