The odds that your kids will get the disease are a little higher than average, but still very low. Look at it this way: Out of 100 kids born to parents with MS, only about three will ever get it. That means 97 won't.

While genes play some role in multiple sclerosis, the condition doesn't pass directly from parent to child. It seems that some genes may raise the chances of having MS, but there are other triggers for the disease that we don't completely understand yet.
