In multiple sclerosis (MS), antibodies to the common Epstein-Barr virus can accidentally attack a protein in the brain and ...

One exception to this trend relates to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene cluster on chromosome 6p21.3, which was discovered to be an MS susceptibility locus in the early 1970s through use of ...

Multiple sclerosis isn’t inherited, but having a family member with the disease can increase your chance of having the condition. While genetics influences your risk, environmental factors also ...

While the exact cause of MS remains unknown, scientists believe genetics and environmental factors both play a role. MS is not directly inherited, but "over 200 genes have been linked to the ...
