"[Several observations suggest that the interferon system may be of interest in the study of MS development To investigate whether polymorphism in components of the IFN system and the JAK-STAT pathway influence susceptibility to MS, we performed a linkage analysis between polymorphic loci in or close to the IFN gamma, IFN gamma receptor, IFN alpha/beta receptor, JAK 1, STAT 1 and STAT 3 genes in 27 Swedish families with at least two members having MS. Tests for transmission disequilibrium and nonparametric linkage analysis gave negative results.]. Sentence from MEDLINE/PubMed, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine."@en . . . . .
