Women 'more likely to carry gene linked to multiple sclerosis' Oxford University study reveals | Mail Online

Women with multiple sclerosis are more likely to carry a gene linked to the illness than men who have the condition, a study has shown.

The research, which analysed the DNA of more than 7,000 people, also found women were more likely to pass on the gene to female relatives.

Experts said the results helped explain why MS currently affects twice as many women as men.
