class II in Iraqi multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, and to ascertain whether they offer any …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is prototype of inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central
nervous system. The etiology of MS remains unclear, but according to current data the …

Several studies have investigated the association of different HLA antigens with multiple
sclerosis (MS). However, only few studies have considered the association of high …

Background: Previous efforts to identify Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) gene associations
with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the South Asian population have been underpowered. Aim …

This is one of the first studies to compare the frequencies of different human leucocyte
antigen (HLA) class I and II alleles and haplotype HLA-DRB1* 15-DQB1* 06 in a cohort of …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) has become prevalent in the Arabian Gulf area with high incidence in
Bahrain due to environmental influences and genetic susceptibilities, but there is a lack of …

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating inflammatory disease of the
central nervous system originated by a complex interplay of environmental and genetic …

(HLA) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is necessary in many populations and geographical …

The association of HLA class II alleles with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been amply
documented. In the present study, the role of HLA class II (DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1) alleles …
