Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: 2017 revisions of the McDonald criteria

TL;DR: The 2017 McDonald criteria continue to apply primarily to patients experiencing a typical clinically isolated syndrome, define what is needed to fulfil dissemination in time and space of lesions in the CNS, and stress the need for no better explanation for the presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis

Stephen Sawcer, +265 more
- 10 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the clinical course of multiple sclerosis: The 2013 revisions

TL;DR: Refined descriptors that include consideration of disease activity (based on clinical relapse rate and imaging findings) and disease progression are proposed and strategies for future research to better define phenotypes are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of MRI criteria at first presentation to predict conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a four-parameter dichotomized MRI model including gadolinium-enhancement, juxtacortical, infratentorial and periventricular lesions best predicts conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
