Immunoglobulin G heavy chain (Gm) allotypes in multiple sclerosis

J P Pandey et al. J Clin Invest. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

Serum samples from 70 Caucasian patients with multiple sclerosis were typed for nine Gm markers. Significant association was found with the Gm 1,17;21 phenotype, and the relative risk for individuals with this phenotype was calculated at 3.6. The data indicate that Caucasians positive for Gm 1,17;21 are almost four times more likely to develop multiple sclerosis than those without this phenotype.
