Multiple sclerosis risk loci and disease severity in 7,125 individuals from 10 studies

We investigated the association between 52 risk variants identified through genome-wide association studies and disease severity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Ten unique MS case data sets were analyzed. The Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) was calculated using the Expanded Disability Status Sc...

Zusammenfassung:	We investigated the association between 52 risk variants identified through genome-wide association studies and disease severity in multiple sclerosis (MS). Ten unique MS case data sets were analyzed. The Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) was calculated using the Expanded Disability Status Scale at study entry and disease duration. MSSS was considered as a continuous variable and as 2 dichotomous variables (median and extreme ends; MSSS of ≤5 vs >5 and MSSS of
