A member asked:
Please help docs! is multiple sclerosis hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not primary cause: Ms is clearly influenced by genetics, as we are aware of risk profiles increasing genetic susceptibility and some genetic protective profiles; but, without a number of environmental influences, will not occur. So, like folks who get flu frequently, this is a vulnerability, but not a hereditary illness.
