Table 2.

Expression of HLA-A2 and HLA-B7 genes in MS patients and healthy controls

HLA-A2 HLA-A7


Positive Negative % Positive Positive Negative % Positive
C 35 31 53·0 24 42 36·4
MS 28 41 40·6 28 41 40·6

The difference in frequency of HLA-A2 and HLA-B7 between healthy controls (C) and MS patients did not reach statistical significance (P = 0·10 and P = 0·37, respectively, Fisher's exact test).
