Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) into factors influencing multiple sclerosis (MS) have uncovered loci that affect susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. These discoveries add
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the HLA alleles at the DQA1, DQB1 and DRB1 loci, the CIITA genetic polymorphisms -168A/G and +1614G/C, and susceptibility to mult
Genome-wide association studies identified over 200 risk loci for multiple sclerosis (MS) focusing on common variants, which account for about 50% of disease heritability. The goal of this study was t
