Quix-Genetic Link to MS

[Heather3418]

Good Morning Quix.  Can you tell me where I look up information on the net, where it talks about the genetic link in MS?  As you know, I just found out I was adopted at birth a couple of years ago, in my 50's.  So I do not know my family history, except with finding one sister, out of 7 siblings.

If you could direct me to a website, (please start it with http: so it won't get automatically deleted by MedHelp's software) I would be most appreciative.

Big Hugs Momma Bear,

Hey Heather

I recently came across this paper, "The Basics of Genetics in MS" on the Consortium of MS Centers website (mscare DOT org):

Have a read, I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for Heather, but it is interesting nonetheless.
