Popis: This is one of the first studies to compare the frequencies of different human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II alleles and haplotype HLA-DRB1*15-DQB1*06 in a cohort of 119 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and a cohort of 124 healthy controls in Belgium. An association with MS was found for the HLA-DRB1*15 (odds ratio [OR] 2.60 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51-4.50]) and HLA-DQB1*06 (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.18-3.29]) alleles, and for haplotype DRB1*15-DQB1*06 (OR 2.63 [95% CI 1.52-4.56]). The HLA-B*07 allele also tended to be more frequent in MS patients (OR 1.46 [95% CI 0.80-2.65]) and more frequent among MS patients with than in those without the HLA-DRB1*15 allele (26/54 [48.1%] versus 6/65 [9.2%]; p value
