Method for the diagnosis or prediction of multiple sclerosis using single nucleotide polymorphisms of human chromosome 4 in the inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II gene (INPP4b gene)

摘要

The invention relates to a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the nucleobase at base position 143470133 (rs13102150) of human chromosome 4 in the inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II gene (INPP4b gene) for the diagnosis or pre-diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or for determining the risk of contracting multiple sclerosis.
