No, failure of neuronal growth does not cause MS. MS is caused by an autoimmune disorder which causes the immune system to attack and destroy the myelin surrounding neurons. These areas of demyelination get covered over by plaques or scars (thus the name multiple sclerosis which means "many scars"). Nerve impulses fail to travel correctly through these areas of demyelination, causing the various symptoms of MS.
