Current gene-mapping strategies in experimental models of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Both family-based linkage analyses and population-based association studies have failed to identify disease-regulatory non-human leucocyte antigen genes of importance in multiple sclerosis (MS). Instead, investigators have employed experimental models, which offer major advantages in genetic studies. We summarize the current main methodologies used and the status of both the human and experimental approaches. Why...
