Table 4 Environmental exposures in patients and controls stratified on HLA-DRB1*15:01 carrier status

From: Environmental exposures and the risk of multiple sclerosis investigated in a Norwegian case-control study

 

HLA-DRB1*15:01 + (nMS = 186/nC = 263)

HLA-DRB1*15:01 - (nMS = 133/nC = 645)

HLA-DRB1*15:01 + (nMS = 186/nC = 263)

HLA-DRB1*15:01 - (nMS = 133/nC = 645)
