Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Most twin studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) are inconclusive regarding the impact of genes and environment on disease susceptibility. In particular, high uncertainty exists about whether shared environmental factors are aetiologically relevant. OBJECTIVE: To disentangle, with a reasonable degree of confidence, the relative contributions of heritability and of shared and unique environmental...
