Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the presence of familial aggregation and determine the contribution of genetic factors to familial clustering of MS in patients coming from Sardinia, a Mediterranean island considered a genetically homogeneous, isolated area having high disease incidence and prevalence. METHODS: Recurrence risk in siblings of 901 Sardinian patients and factors influencing risk (patient and sibling sex,...
