Quote:
Queensland scientists are part of a consortium that has discovered two genetic variants which increase the risk of MS and reveal links to other autoimmune disease.
Quote:
Changes in the region on chromosome 12 were discovered to coincide with an increased susceptibility to type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, whereas the region identified on chromosome 20 also coincides with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and Graves' disease.

In addition, chromosome 12 encodes the enzyme that converts vitamin D, which we obtain mainly through sunlight, but also our diet, into an active form that our body can use.
