Journal of Neuroimmunology, 06/02/09
Imrell et al. - Carriage of HLA-DRB115* is the most important genetic risk factor in multiple sclerosis (MS), while CSF-specific oligoclonal immunoglobulin G bands (OCB) constitute the most sensitive biochemical marker for diagnosing MS. The authors demonstrated in an earlier study the interdependence of HLA-DRB1 genotype and OCB status; the effect of these phenotypic features on MS prognosis remains controversial, however. The authors investigated by survival analysis the impact of each variable on age at two important MS milestones: onset of clinical symptoms and an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 6.0. Both carriage of HLA-DRB115* and the presence of OCB hastened attainment of EDSS 6.0.
