The myelin basic protein gene in multiple sclerosis: identification of discrete alleles of a 1.3 kb tetranucleotide repeat sequence.

Acta neurologica Scandinavica - 1 Jan 1998

He B, Yang B, Lundahl J, Fredrikson S, Hillert J

Abstract excerpt

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a potential autoantigen in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its gene therefore is an attractive candidate to confer genetic susceptibility to this disease. Linkage and association with certain alleles of a 1.2 kb tetranucleotide repeat region 5' to the MBP gene with MS have been reported in Finnish patients, and an association has been reported from Denmark. However, these findings have...
