Unlike in Western countries, only a few familial multiple sclerosis cases have been reported from Asian countries. Herein, we report on the characteristics of siblings with multiple sclerosis. Their parents were consanguineous, and the siblings showed different first symptoms of gait disturbance or double vision, with a clinical phenotype of primary progressive multiple sclerosis or relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis. Their human leukocyte antigen showed unique subtypes of DPB1 (0501/0901 or 0901/0901) and DRB1 (0406/1502 or 1502/1502).
