My mother has Multiple Sclerosis otherwise known as M.S. She was diagnosed right after my older brother Colin was born in August of 1991. Growing up, I always thought that only women were able to get M.S. and only until my eighth grade year I found out that men can also get it. I always only heard of women who had M.S.

Genetics seemed like a possible influence to Brian Weinshenker, MD, and colleagues. Genes and environment are probably both involved in the development of MS, they write in the online edition of Genes & Immunity.
Weinshenker and his Mayo Clinic co-workers searched for clues about the MS gender gap. They also enlisted help from experts in Northern Ireland, Belgium, and Italy… The gene variation was less common among men. "That might explain why men are generally protected more from MS," says Weinshenker in a news release. Similar findings were reported by Italian researchers” Dr. David Dawson, a neurologist at Brigham and Women 's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts was interviewed by a CNN reporter, he goes on to say
“CNN: How prevalent is it in the United States?
Dawson: It is the leading cause of neurological disability in young adults in this country…Women are a bit more likely than men to have the condition. The ratio is something like three to two women over men, and it tends to run in
