Two sisters with multiple sclerosis, lamellar ichthyosis, beta thalassaemia minor and a deficiency of factor VIII

R Capra et al. J Neurol. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Two of four sisters have multiple sclerosis (MS), lamellar ichthyosis, beta thalassaemia minor and a quantitative deficit of factor VIII-von Willebrand complex. The mother and the other sisters have only beta thalassaemia minor. The association of MS and a cluster of genetically determined diseases is rare. Such families could offer a new approach to the investigation of the polygenetic background of MS.
