Examination of the histocompatibility antigens carried out in 62 patients of the Russian nationality suffering from disseminated sclerosis showed that the HLA-B7 antigen was encountered in them more frequently than in healthy people. The distribution of the A2 and A3 antigens of the HLA system was different depending on the character of the disease course, the A2 antigen was prevalent in a relatively benign, remitting process, while prevalence of the A3 antigen was characteristic for rapidly progressing processes that led to grave affections of the nervous system. In the patients' families two haplotypes, i. e. A2B7 and A3B7 were found to be prevalent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
