I am sorry to ask: Can you possibly be a bit more specific? I am sorry to ask but MSA can stand for a variety of things.

Not usually: We really do NOT know the cause of Multi-System Atrophy, but have so far, not uncovered genetic influence of the unusual "Parkinsonian-plus" syndrome. Would strongly suspect that you have very little to fear.
