UCSF is doing MS genetics research with a dedicated lab. My consulting neurologist, Dr. Hauser, has been in the forefront of this research. Here is a link to a recent write about Dr. Hauser winning the Charcot Award for his research in MS genetics.

Here is the link from the MS Society discussing the UCSF Genetics Study and how to participate.

My family is also part of the genome study. If you have another close blood relative with the disease, I hope you will join in...it is absolutely free and a painless way to further the cause!

My mom and I participated in the big UCSF study. It's not a clinic though, they just want your blood and history.

We're also giving our DNA to or new doc in Irvine. It's not geared specifically toward multi-generational MS, they just want our blood for studying the genetics of MS, not our specific cases.

Not trying to take over your thread, just want to add info for the MSers who want to do good!

For those interested in donating organs/body after death, I have found out that the Mellen Center at the Cleveland Clinic are always accepting MS brains.

Weird subject for some, I know. I am trying to make lemonade w the lemon disease I've been given. What if it was my brain that helped cure MS for future generations?

Is this directed at me? If so then Dr. Demetriou at UCI.
