The Genetic Analysis of multiple sclerosis

We created these data in order to identify genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. Cases from many parts of the world were genotyped with the Illumina 660 chip along with Swedish controls. In our analysis we also used control data from the WTCCC2 common UK controls and from other published studies.
