We analyzed the HLA class II haplotypes in 249 Finnish nuclear families and compared the frequencies of parental haplotypes transmitted or non-transmitted to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The most important predisposing haplotype was DRB1*15-DQB1*0602 (P<10(-6)) as expected and a weak predisposing effect of DRB1*04-DQB1*0302 was revealed after the elimination of DRB1*15-DQB1*0602. HLA-DRB1*01-DQB1*0501 and DRB1*13-DQB1*0603 were negatively associated with MS in transmission disequilibrium test, but only the DRB1*13-DQB1*0603 association remained significant (P=0.008) after the elimination of DRB1*15-DQB1*0602 haplotypes. Based on this study HLA class II haplotypes exhibit both predisposing and protective effects in MS.
