Chromosomal regions are those identified as associated by Sawcer et al (2005)1 [27] from the family study or by the GAMES collaboration (2006)2 [26] using microsatellites (as marked) in a case/control study, and from the IMSGC SNP based genome wide analysis3 [10]. Genes are from the set of genes dysregulated in relapse and remission. Highlighted genes have been associated with MS in replication cohorts.
