Twin studies and the heritability of MS: a conclusion.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England) - 1 Jun 2009

Hawkes C H, Macgregor A J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The classical twin study has the potential to evaluate the relative contribution of genes and environment and guide further research strategies, provided the sampling and methods of analysis are correct. We wish to review all the more informative twin studies on multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS: We examined six large population-based twin studies in MS and calculated indices of heritability (h(2)),...
