Association of HLA class II with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been widely studied in both
Western and Oriental populations. However, such an association is not well documented in …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the association of HLA‐DRB1 and‐DPB1 alleles with
multiple sclerosis (MS) in Japanese, to determine whether optico‐spinal MS (OS‐MS) and …

Background: Previous efforts to identify Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) gene associations
with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the South Asian population have been underpowered. Aim …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is strongly associated with the HLA‐Dw2 haplotype DRw15. DQw6 in
Caucasoids, although the relative contributions of DR and DQ loci to disease susceptibility …

Background: The association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes and multiple
sclerosis (MS) has been extensively investigated in Caucasians, but less so in Oriental …

The association of MS with the HLA class II loci DR and DQ was investigated in subjects of
Shanghai Chinese and British Caucasian origin. Our aim was to determine whether …

An underlying complex genetic susceptibility exists in multiple sclerosis (MS), and an
association with the HLA-DRB1* 1501-DQB1* 0602 haplotype has been repeatedly …

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease associated with the HLA‐DR2‐related
haplotype DRB1* 1501, DQB1* 0602 in Caucasoids and with DQB1* 0602 in DR2‐positive …

Background and objective: The association of HLA‐DRB1* 15 with susceptibility to multiple
sclerosis (MS) has been consistently reported although its effect on the clinical phenotype is …

Background: The association of multiple sclerosis (MS) with HLA DR subtypes, and
particularly human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐DRB1* 15 has been a consistent finding across …
