Default Breakthrough research holds clues about MS cause

Humans one .... mice nil.

At last here's some data that's about people with MS, and not just mice with MS-like conditions.

In one of the largest human genetic studies ever undertaken, scientists have identified the major common genetic variants that contribute to the cause of the devastating neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis (MS).......... The study confirmed the presence of up to 57 MS genes with a remarkable pattern that shows that the reason some people get MS and others don't is largely due to subtle, inherited differences in immune function.

And from another paper on the same topic; something that we already assumed has now been confirmed ....

Earlier this year Dr Taylor published a study that showed higher vitamin D levels reduced the chance of relapses in people with MS.
