Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system with putative autoimmune aetiology and complex genetic background. Here, we report the results of a genome screen for linkage disequilibrium (LD) by using 6000 microsatellite markers in 198 HLA-DRB1*15-positive MS patients and 198 unrelated controls (pooled DNA); 4666 analysed markers could be included in the resulting association map, from which 87 revealed significant differences between MS cases and controls.
多发性硬化症(MS)是一种中枢神经系统脱髓鞘疾病,具有假定的自身免疫病因和复杂的遗传背景。在此,我们报告了一项基因组筛查结果,该筛查通过在198例HLA-DRB1*15阳性的MS患者和198名无关对照(混合DNA)中使用6000个微卫星标记来检测连锁不平衡(LD);4666个分析标记可纳入最终的关联图谱,其中87个显示MS病例与对照之间存在显著差异。
