Household paired design reduces variance and increases power in multi-city gut microbiome study in multiple sclerosis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evidence for a role of human gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis (MS) risk is mounting, yet large variability is seen across studies. This is, in part, due to the lack of standardization of study protocols, sample collection methods, and sequencing approaches. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to address the effect of a household experimental design, sample collection, and sequencing approaches in a gut...
