Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease influenced by multiple genetic factors rather than a single gene or chromosome. However, the HLA-DRB1 gene on chromosome 6 is notably associated with an increased risk of developing MS. Variants in this gene can affect immune response, contributing to the disease. Additionally, other genetic loci across various chromosomes have also been linked to MS susceptibility.
What else can I help you with?
In als what chromosome is affected?
In ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the chromosome primarily affected is chromosome 9. A gene called C9orf72 located on this chromosome is linked to a significant percentage of familial ALS cases. Other genetic mutations on different chromosomes can also contribute to ALS development.
Is there a gene or chromosome affected by anemia?

What gene or chromosome is affected by down syndrome?
Chromosome 21 is tripled in Down syndrome.
States were chromosomes pair was affected by the Thomsen disease?

What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
What gene is affected by Barth syndrome?
Barth syndrome occurs when a person is born with a mutated, or abnormal, TAZ1 (or G4.5) gene. This abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome, which is a sex-determining chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
Gene duplication is a type of mutation that can add genes to a chromosome. During gene duplication, a segment of DNA is copied and inserted into the chromosome, leading to an increase in the number of copies of a particular gene. This can result in gene families with multiple copies of a gene that may evolve new functions over time.
What chromosome number is affected by alzheimer's disease?
Chromosome numbers: 1, 14, 19, and 21 are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
In what chromosome is the ear lobe trait located?
The ear lobe trait is not located on a specific chromosome, as it is a common genetic trait that is not influenced by a single gene or located on a specific chromosome. The presence or absence of ear lobes is determined by multiple genetic factors.
