Identical twins may give clues to MS
The immune systems of identical twins may give clues to how multiple sclerosis starts, according to German research involving 43 sets of twins where one has MS and the other doesn't. The immune cell profile of both twins was similar and the twins who didn't have MS often showed some signs similar to the very early stages of MS.
