NEW YORK, Aug. 29 -- The National Multiple Sclerosis Society issued the following news:
In a new study of 43 sets of identical (monozygotic) twins, it was reported that twins typically show similar patterns of immune cells, even when one twin had MS and the other does not. Some of the twins with no MS symptoms showed some signs of MS-like brain lesions on MRI, and their immune profiles mimicked those of people in early stages of MS. These findings add to mounting evidence that the o . . .
