Variants of a gene called KIF1b have been linked to multiple sclerosis.
A recent study(August 2011) has found another 29 genes including possibly a zinc finger gene, some of the genes are also associated with other autoimmune diseases like crohn's disease and type 1 diabetes.

Dear Paul,
I occasionally view your posts and find them interesting, and sometimes illuminating.
However, this post has me puzzled- it is dated December, 2008, but mentions a "recent study (August 2011)..."
So- I am puzzled- are you prescient? Or is the date of the post inaccurate?
Thanks
