For the first time, scientists have identified a genetic variant that may make some people with multiple sclerosis (MS) vulnerable to faster progression. In a study of more than 22,000 people with MS, ...

A study of more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has for the first time identified a genetic variant associated with faster progression of the disease, an accumulation of disability ...

The Marburg variant of multiple sclerosis is extremely rare but also the most severe. Life expectancy has been weeks or months, but advances in treatment have led to an improved outlook. Multiple ...

A study of more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis has discovered the first genetic variant associated with faster disease progression that can rob patients of their mobility and independence ...

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 ...

Multiple sclerosis begins as an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in symptom flares, called relapses, as well as longer-term degeneration ...

One of the leading triggers for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus. However, certain gene variants also play an important role. Researchers at the University of Zurich ...

Scientists identify the first genetic marker for MS severity, opening the door to preventing long-term disability. Scientists identify the first genetic marker for MS severity, opening the door to ...
