Perspectives on the use of multiple sclerosis risk genes for prediction.

<h4>Objective</h4>A recent collaborative genome-wide association study replicated a large number of susceptibility loci and identified novel loci. This increase in known multiple sclerosis (MS) risk genes raises questions about clinical applicability of genotyping. In an empirical set we...
