We have analyzed the distribution of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) a and -b microsatellite alleles in HLA-DQ and -DR typed Swedish patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) (n = 122) and ethnically matched control subjects (n = 178). We found significant differences in the frequencies of TNFa and TNFb alleles between patients and controls. TNFaII was significantly associated with MS. This was also the case for the...
