Childhood sun exposure influences risk of multiple sclerosis in monozygotic twins.

Neurology - 24 Jul 2007

Islam Talat, Gauderman W James, Cozen Wendy, Mack Thomas M

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To address the role of childhood sun exposure on the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) after controlling for genetic susceptibility, we investigated the association between sun exposure and MS comparing disease-discordant monozygotic (MZ) twins. METHOD: Twins with MS were sought by yearly newspaper advertisements throughout North America from 1980 to 1992. Diagnosis was verified by updated medical...
