First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study is trying to figure out what makes someone more likely to develop multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers are looking at a person's genes, their environment, and their immune system. They hope to create a risk score that could one day help prevent or slow down MS. The study is recruiting 5,000 people in the U.S., including relatives of people with MS and others at higher risk.
