There is a genetic component to Multiple Sclerosis, but it does not play the whole part in determining whether or not you will develop the disease.
The average person's risk of developing MS is about 1 in 750. But if you have close (first-degree) relatives (parents or siblings) who have MS, it increases your risk to between 1 in 100 and 1 in 40. It's not all genetics though, and we can use the twin test to prove that. If you have an identical twin who has MS, your risk of developing MS is 1 in 4, or 25%. If genetics were the only factor involved, your risk would be 100%. This shows that there are other factors involved: ethnicity, gender, geography, and a still-as-of-yet-unidentified infectious trigger.
