Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) is genetically determined but it is thought that more than one gene contributes to development of the disease. We report a study of linkage to one candidate, the T cell receptor alpha chain locus, on chromosome 14, in affected sibling pairs. Markers with high polymorphism information contents were used to assign haplotypes identical by descent and state. Forty nine pairs...
