Note.— The analyses include all affected and unaffected individuals from families with multicase (n=187) and singleton (n=362) MS (total n=2,382 individuals; n=808 affected and 1,574 unaffected individuals).
The DRX group refers to all other non-DR2 (DRB1*1501–DQB1*0602) alleles. All analyses were performed using conditional logistic regression modeling and controlling for sex as implemented in PROC PHREG (SAS v. 8.2). All individuals were stratified by family for analyses. Unaffected family members included all parents and siblings of affected individuals.
