Low frequency of the disease‐associated DRB1*15‐DQB1*06 haplotype may contribute to the low prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Sami
Abstract This study confirms a low frequency of multiple sclerosis (MS) among Sami. Only 12 Sami with a diagnosis of MS were identified in the Norwegian Sami population, which represents a significantly lower prevalence of MS in Sami (30/10 5 ) compared with other Norwegians (73–164/10 5 ).
