‐ Genetic subtypes of group‐specific component (Gc), a protein possibly influencing susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus infection, were assessed by isoelectric focusing of plasma from 88 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and related to frequencies among 3394 control individuals subjected to paternity studies. We found no clear association between MS and frequencies of phenotypes or alleles of Gc protein.
