Abstract Carriage of HLA-DRB1⁎ 15 is the most important genetic risk factor in multiple
sclerosis (MS), while CSF-specific oligoclonal immunoglobulin G bands (OCB) constitute the …

Background and objective: The HLA‐DRB1* 15 allele is consistently associated with
multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility in most studied populations. This study investigated the …

Background and aim: Oligoclonal bands (OCB) may be associated with the genes of HLA
complex, which allows to consider the possible interaction of genetic and immunological …

The effect of HLA alleles on the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been widely
investigated; however, results are conflicting and no consistent correlation has been …

To date, more than a dozen studies have investigated the role of HLA genes in determining
clinical course and disease severity in multiple sclerosis (MS); in each of these studies …

BACKGROUND: The association between susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and HLA-
DRB1⁎ 15 has been reported in various European populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate …

The association between susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and the class II MHC allele
HLA-DRB1* 15 is well established although a possible relationship between this allele and …

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: HLA-DRB1* 1501 (DR15) and other HLA class II alleles increase the risk of
developing multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the contribution of genetic heterogeneity to the …

The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II haplotype DRB1* 15–DQB1* 06 (DR15–DQ6) is
associated with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS), and HLA class I associations in MS …
