Abstract

The "case-control" research in Russian Altai territory population has proved that DR15 and DR3 as well as the combination of female sex and alleles A of TNFα of rs1800629 locus are associated with high risk of multiple sclerosis. The relationship between disease and CD40 polymorphism (rs6074022) was not found.
