Susceptibility to relapsing-progressive multiple sclerosis is associated with inheritance of genes linked to the variable region of the TcR beta locus: use of affected family-based controls.

Abstract excerpt

We tested the hypothesis that susceptibility to relapsing-progressive (RP) (but not to relapsing-remitting [RR]) multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with a gene linked to the TcR beta-chain variable region delimited by the Vbeta8-BamHI and Vbeta11-BamHI RFLP alleles in DRw15+ MS patients, using a contingency-table test of patient data and affected family-based controls. Control alleles and haplotypes were...
