A pair of large-scale genetic studies supported by the National Institutes of Health has revealed two genes that influence the risk of getting multiple sclerosis (MS) ? data sought since the discovery of the only other known MS susceptibility gene decades ago. The findings could shed new light on what causes MS ? a puzzling mix of genes, environment and immunity ? and on potential treatments for at least 350,000 Americans who have the disease.
