MHC transmission: insights into gender bias in MS susceptibility.
OBJECTIVE: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes dominate genetic susceptibility factors in multiple sclerosis (MS). Given the general consensus that incidence and prevalence of MS has been rising and specifically in women, we evaluated MHC-gender interactions. METHODS: In a large family-bas...
