Abstract
The clinical and molecular findings in three patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and additional type 1 diabetes mellitus are described. These patients all presented with a severe and progressive disease course of MS. Molecular testing for HLA class II genes demonstrated the presence of the haplotype DRB1*0401, DQB1*0302 in all patients. This haplotype is closely linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus and is increased among patients with the primary progressive subtype of MS. We conclude that the immunogenetic background in patients with diabetes mellitus may determine the seventy and clinical course of MS in these individuals.
