Yes and predisposed is the correct word

It has been thought for a long time that we are predisposed to MS and "something" triggers it. I believe the trigger(s) will be as varied as the disease.

Each of us have had different life experiences and illnesses at different stages of life. Some of those life experiences and illnesses affect a majority of the population and the majority of the population does not have MS.
