Absence of cystatin C mutation in sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related hemorrhage.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In addition to the main multiple sclerosis (MS) major histocompatibility complex (MHC) risk allele (HLA DRB1*1501), investigations of the MHC have implicated several class I MHC loci (HLA A, HLA B, and HLA C) as potential independent MS susceptibility loci. Here, we evaluate the role of 3 putative protective ...
