Funded Activity Summary

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that damages the brain and spinal cord and can cause, numbness, muscle weakness, difficulties with coordination and balance, problems with speech and swallowing, visual problems, fatigue and bladder and bowel difficulties. After a world-wide effort, a large number of multiple sclerosis genes have been localized in the human genome. This project examines three of these in detail aiming to identify exactly how they contribute to the risk of developing MS
