Can amniocentesis be used to see if a baby will have multiple sclerosis?

No: As of now there is no genetic test for ms, so an amniocentesis would not be helpful.

No: Unaware of any research or tests available that would provide a crystal ball for a baby's chance of acquiring childhood or adult MS
