Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We previously reported an association between household chemical exposures and an increased risk of paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. METHODS: Using a case-control paediatric multiple sclerosis study, gene-environment interaction between exposure to household chemicals and genotypes for risk of paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis was estimated.Genetic risk factors of interest included the two major...
