Funded Activity Summary

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) is a form of MS affecting 10% of people with the disease. PPMS has been less researched than the more common form of MS, Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS), and unlike RRMS, there are currently no effective treatments. This project will examine whether the established risk factors for RRMS also hold for PPMS, whether the magnitude of risk associated with these factors is the same for PPMS, and whether novel risk factors for PPMS can be identified.
