Source:  Source of case population -> “CL” (clinic-based), “PO” (population-based), or “CO” (community-based).
# Polys:  Number of polymorphisms tested per gene and per sample.
Onset Age and Age:  Mean or median age at onset or examination, respectively.
DX:  Criteria used to determine MS diagnosis ->  "P" (Poser criteria, 1983), "MD1" (McDonald criteria, 2001), "MD2" (revised McDonald criteria, 2005), "MD1&2" (McDonald criteria, 2001 and 2005), "O/M" (other/mixed), "U" (Unknown).
Result:  Overall conclusion reached by authors of the original publication (“positive” usually indicates significant (P<0.05) association in at least one of the performed analyses, and “negative” indicates no evidence for significant association, while “trend” indicates results in between).
(-) :  Either no data provided or in case of overlap, data included in original study.
