The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between HLA genotypes and disease severity as measured by brain MRI quantitative markers of demyelinating and destructive pathology in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We studied 100 patients with MS and 122 age, sex-, ethnic- and residence-matched controls. The DNA extraction and the genomic typing (A, B, DRB1 and DQB1 loci) were obtained with sequence-specific oligonucleotide method, using a commercially available reversible line blot assay (INNO-LIPA). All patients underwent a 1.5 tesla MRI examination of the brain. Disease severity was assessed by clinical (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)) and MRI (T2- and T1-lesion load (LL) and brain parenchymal fraction (BPF)) outcome measures.
