Abstract excerpt
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been associated with particular HLA haplotypes and has recently been reported to also be associated with the T cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain complex. We have tried to determine the source of the TCR-beta/MS association by exploiting the pattern of linkage disequilibrium within the TCR-beta complex. We describe a new DNA polymorphism with the TCR variable region gene segment V beta 15...
