Abstract
Inspired by the widely discussed problem of a possible genetic background of multiple sclerosis we have undertaken a trial of determining the relationship between the hereditary trait conveyed by a single gene, i.e. the salivary secretion or nonsecretion of blood group substances, and the occurrence of this disease. The investigations have shown that in the population of western Poland the nonsecretors of blood group substances into their saliva have a statistically significant chance of developing multiple sclerosis than secretors of these substances.
