[Epidemiology of multiple sclerosis: environmental factors versus genetic factors].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine - 1 Aug 2003

Kira Jun-ichi

Abstract excerpt

Although the mechanism of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains elusive, it is generally hypothesized to be an autoimmune disease targeting the central nervous system (CNS) myelin. Extensive epidemiological and genetic surveys indicate that MS is caused by an interplay between the environment and genet...
