Abstract
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.Entities:
