Abstract excerpt

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex trait in which alleles at or near the class II loci HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 contribute significantly to genetic risk. HLA-DRB1*14 and DRB1*11 bearing haplotypes protect against MS and DRB1*01 and DRB1*10 interact with DRB1*15 to reduce risk of the disease. Recent work in other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis has suggested that maternal non-transmitted protective...
