Twin study surveys genome for cause of multiple sclerosis


From Nature News April 28, 2010:

What we left off the last class thinking about was how does a disease in one identical twin appear and not in another? The answer is still unclear, but the article addresses the genetic sequence, the variation in epigenome, and environmental factors that may have lead one twin to develop MS and not the other.
