Ann Neurol 1996, 40:569-574. Based on the natural history of the disease and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord, a group of Japanese patients were classified as having 'Western type' or 'Asian type' MS. HLA-DRB1*1501 haplotype was shown to be associated with Western type MS but not with Asian type MS. These findings suggest that the genetic background influenced the clinical pattern of MS.
