The comparison of Histocompatibility Testing in 82 MS Patients and 368 controls is presented. The increase in HL-A7 and decrease in HL-A12 are confirmed. A significant increase in HL-A8 is reported. Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction confirms the LD7a increase (19 out of 24 Multiple Sclerosis patients tested); 100% of the patients bearing the HL-A7 determinant are found to be LD7a. The presence of specific Immune Response genes in Multiple Sclerosis is discussed.

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.

D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.
