Oligoclonal band status in Scandinavian multiple sclerosis patients is associated with specific genetic risk alleles.

Oligoclonal band status in Scandinavian multiple sclerosis patients is associated with specific genetic risk alleles.

The presence of oligoclonal bands (OCB) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a typical finding in multiple sclerosis (MS). We applied data from Norwegian, Swedish and Danish (i.e. Scandinavian) MS patients from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to search for genetic differences in MS relating to OCB...
