The Epstein-Barr virus and a high-risk gene may work together to trick the immune system into attacking the brain in MS, a ...

—Genetic loci that are associated with disability in multiple sclerosis have been identified as contributing to its progression, showing that the central nervous system, not the immune system, ...

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) including more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has uncovered the first genetic variant associated with faster progression of the autoimmune ...

“Our study shows how the most important environmental and genetic risk factors can contribute to MS and trigger an autoimmune ...

Researchers have identified the first genetic marker of multiple sclerosis severity. The genetic variant was seen in people who experienced quicker progression of the disease, resulting in greater ...

Recent findings suggest that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is involved in both causing multiple sclerosis (MS) and shaping its ...

Prof Nicholas Schwab and his colleagues found a biomarker which allows to tell in advance if therapy with glatirameracetate will be efficient in an individual MS patent. Treatment with interferon or ...

A group of international experts is proposing a first-of-its-kind framework to prevent multiple sclerosis (MS) from ...

“We knew that genetics is important for risk, but this variability of outcome suggested that genetics may also play a role in severity.” Dr. Baranzini and his team utilized data from two large MS ...
