Siblings of patients with multiple sclerosis have an increased risk of developing the disease. In this report we describe 3 families with multiple affected members, representing the largest published aggregation of cases in first degree relatives. In the 2 families in which HLA tissue-typing was performed the affected individuals shared part of the haplotype HLA-DR2 (+ HLA-DQW1), BfS (+ C2C), C4A3, C4B1. The implications of these findings for the aetiology of multiple sclerosis are discussed.
多发性硬化症患者的兄弟姐妹患该病的风险增加。在本报告中,我们描述了3个有多名患病成员的家庭,这是已发表的一级亲属中病例聚集数量最多的情况。在进行了HLA组织分型的2个家庭中,患病个体共享部分单倍型HLA - DR2(+ HLA - DQW1)、BfS(+ C2C)、C4A3、C4B1。讨论了这些发现对多发性硬化症病因学的意义。
