CUI: C0026769

Multiple Sclerosis
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In fact, analysis of 19 patients homozygous for the MS associated HLA-DR-DQ haplotype HLA-Dw2 showed that this haplotype does not carry the TNF2 allele. 8550811 1995
CUI: C0026769
Disease: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Surprisingly, these changes which favour a beneficial, disease-downregulating effect of IL-4 and TGF-beta in MS, were found to be confined to HLA-Dw2-positive patients. 9345450 1995
CUI: C0026769
Disease: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE However, using a sibling pair linkage analysis that restricts haplotype sharing probabilities to defined genetic models, we have not observed linkage of this region to susceptibility in MS. We discuss the basis for association and linkage and conclude that the DR15, DQ6, Dw2 haplotype does represent a susceptibility locus but its contribution to the pathogenesis is small; although it may interact epistatically with other susceptibility genes, this haplotype is not necessary for disease expression. 7759607 1995
