Hello all. Does anyone know much about MS and genetics?? Will my future children develop MS? Here's my situation:
I have MS and so does my husband. As far as I know, I'm the only person in my family to have MS. My husband has some other people in his family that have it. On his mother's side, his great-grandfather had it, and his aunt has it too. We just found out that his uncle on his father's side has been diagnosed with it also. So hubby has MS on both sides of his family. I've been wondering...if we have children, what are the chances of them developing MS, given their family history and them too having MS on both sides of their family? Has anyone here ever spoken with a genetic counselor? Thanks everyone!!
