The association of multiple sclerosis with alleles/haplotypes from the HLA region on chromosome 6p21 is well established although the remainder of the genome remains relatively unexplored. We have completed a genome-wide screen for linkage disequilibrium in a cohort of Australian multiple sclerosis patients positive for HLA-DRB1*1501.
