On chromosome 1p35.2, the research identified two distinct genetic variants associated with MS risk—one specific to Native ...

place important constraints on the possibilities for the genetic-basis underlying susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Using very broad range-estimates for the different population ...

A study has uncovered novel ancestry-specific genetic variants linked to multiple sclerosis (MS), offering new insights that could reshape treatment approaches for diverse populations affected by ...

Researchers don’t yet fully understand what causes multiple sclerosis (MS) but believe it may develop from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Identifying these factors can help ...

The MS and PhD programs in Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics (GGB) prepare students to contribute to exciting new research essential to the success of 21st-century medicine, novel treatments and ...

For children genetically predisposed to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), exposure to cigarette smoke in the family home could raise that risk even higher, new research shows. "A higher genetic MS ...

Scott, an internationally recognized neurologist and leader in multiple sclerosis (MS) research and clinical care, has been awarded the 2024 MS Research Award by MS Australia.

Severe obesity in childhood and adolescence more than triples the risk of MS, and obesity treatment does not seem to reverse it, a study finds.

HLA-DR2, specifically the HLA-DR15suballele, has been associated with both MS and intermediate uveitis, suggesting a genetic predisposition to both diseases. The treatment of MS-associated uveitis ...
