We analyzed the association of HLA-DR and -DQ haplotypes and alleles with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 91 patients and 91 controls from Iceland using the relative predispositional effect method. The aim was to establish whether there is heterogeneity in HLA associations with MS, whether there are b...
