A stronger association has been found between multiple sclerosis and HLA-DR2 than -DQwl in south east Wales (prevalence c 113/10(5)) in contrast to recent observations in north east Scotland (prevalence 178/10(5). The complex relationship between the HLA system and multiple sclerosis, demonstrated in this and other studies, is explained more easily under a polygenic model of inheritance, in which environmental events and genes interact, than by the presence of a single susceptibility gene.
在威尔士东南部(患病率约为113/10⁵),已发现多发性硬化症与HLA - DR2之间的关联比与HLA - DQw1的关联更强,这与苏格兰东北部最近的观察结果(患病率178/10⁵)形成对比。在本研究及其他研究中所证明的HLA系统与多发性硬化症之间的复杂关系,在多基因遗传模型(环境因素与基因相互作用)下比在单一易感基因存在的情况下更容易解释。
