Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate whether genes coding for tumor necrosis factors (TNF) contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and also whether they have a non-random association with the MS associated HLA-DRB1*1501-DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 haplotype, 40 MS patients and their parents were characterized at four polymorphic loci in the region of the TNF genes: a NcoI RFLP and three microsatellites. We were able...
