There was no statistically significant relationship between positive ANA, SSA, aCLs, or LA and self-EDSS score, duration from last relapse, new lesion on most recent MRI, the presence of spinal cord disease, current disease modifying therapy, corticosteroid use in the last 3 months, or a previous history of abnormal oligoclonal bands or elevated IgG in CSF. This evidence concerns the gene BTG3 and spinal cord disorder.
