Exome sequencing of multiple-sclerosis patients and their unaffected first-degree relatives.

Objectives: The understanding of complex multifactorial diseases requires the availability of a variety of data for a large-number of affected individuals. In this data note here we provide whole exome sequencing data from a set of non-familiar multiple-sclerosis (MS) patients as well as their unaffected first-degree relatives. This data might help the identification of genomic alterations, including single nucleotide polymorphisms, de novo variations and structural genomic variations, such as copy-number alterations that may impact this disease.

Validation and cross-cultural adaptation of sexual dysfunction modified scale in multiple sclerosis for Brazilian population.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). These patients suffer from various comorbidities, including sexual dysfunction (SD). The lesions of MS may affect regions of the CNS along the pathway of sexual response.

Validation survey of the impact of urinary incontinence (IIQ-7) and inventory of distress urogenital (UDI-6) - the short scales - in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Impact Questionnaire of Urinary Incontinence (IIQ-7) and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) - short scale - in the Brazilian population with multiple sclerosis. The IIQ-7 and UDI-6 were translated into Portuguese, called IIQ-7-BR and UDI-6-BR. The questionnaires were administered in 211 individuals selected randomly.
