Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the changes in the multiple sclerosis (MS) concordance in twins, and the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the aetiology of MS in Finland. BACKGROUND: Both genes and the environment contribute to the development of MS. A well-conducted twin study is an excellent means to assess the relative contribution of heritability and environmental factors. METHODS: Multiple...
