Two of four sisters have multiple sclerosis (MS), lamellar ichthyosis, beta thalassaemia minor and a quantitative deficit of factor VIII-von Willebrand complex. The mother and the other sisters have only beta thalassaemia minor. The association of MS and a cluster of genetically determined diseases is rare. Such families could offer a new approach to the investigation of the polygenetic background of MS.
四姐妹中有两人患有多发性硬化症(MS)、板层状鱼鳞病、轻度β地中海贫血以及VIII因子-血管性血友病因子复合物定量缺乏。母亲和其他姐妹仅患有轻度β地中海贫血。MS与一系列遗传疾病的关联较为罕见。这样的家族可为研究MS的多基因背景提供新方法。
