Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the nature of genetic-susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) in African-Americans. BACKGROUND: Recently, the number of genetic-associations with MS has exploded although the MS-associations of specific haplotypes within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been known for decades. For example, the haplotypes HLA-DRB1*15:01~HLA-DQB1*06:02, and HLA-DRB1*03:01~ HLA-DQB1*02:01 have...
