Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease believed to be caused by autoimmune pathogenesis. The aetiology is likely explained by a complex interplay between inherited and environmental factors. Genetic investigations into MS have been conducted for over 50 years, yielding >100 associations to date. Globally, the strongest linkage is with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA‐DRB5*01:01:01‐DRB1*15:01:01‐DQA1*01:02:01‐DQB1*06:02:01 haplotype.
