Abstract excerpt
To verify whether multiallelic polymorphism adjacent to the gene encoding for myelin basic protein is associated with or linked to multiple sclerosis in Italians, we studied 54 sporadic patients, 55 control subjects and 18 families with two or more affected individuals. Allelic typing was carried out by analysis of fragment length polymorphisms after DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. The...
