Genetics

We’ve known for a long time that genetics play a massive role in Multiple Sclerosis, but pinpointing the exact biological culprits has often felt like looking for a needle in a haystack. This post breaks down a fascinating study that takes a detective’s approach to our DNA, moving beyond simple genetic associations to identify the actual causal factors driving the disease. From hidden "switches" in DNA methylation to specific proteins circulating in the blood, discover how a powerful new multi-omics technique is finally helping scientists map the complex regulatory networks behind MS, offering new hope for understanding this challenging condition.
