Multiple sclerosis: the environment and causation.

Current opinion in neurology - 1 Jun 2007

Giovannoni Gavin, Ebers George

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We review current thinking on the aetiology of multiple sclerosis, how genetic susceptibility interacts with environmental risk factors at the population level, multiple sclerosis-associated risk factors and contemporary causation theory. RECENT FINDINGS: Two large genomic studies have confirmed the unambiguous associations with the DRB1 and DQB alleles of the human leucocyte antigen class II...
