Investigating the role of common and rare variants in multiplex multiple sclerosis families reveals an increased burden of common risk variation.

Abstract excerpt

Many multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated common risk variants as well as candidate low-frequency and rare variants have been identified; however, approximately half of MS heritability remains unexplained. We studied seven multiplex MS families, six of which with parental consanguinity, to identify genetic factors that increase MS risk. Candidate genomic regions were identified through linkage analysis and...
