Aunt with ms should i get tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remote risk: Ms is not a true genetic disorder, and really expresses genetic susceptibility, not destiny. The actual statistical risk with your aunt's situation is truly close to nil regarding you. Unless you have experienced neurological issues, such as numbness, loss of vision, incoordination, weakness, you are likely not in need of any testing. Since you seem worried, discuss all of this with your doctor.
