Will I get it?

Question

My mum had M.S. My aunt does (if that's relevant, I don't know)

Answer 1

Not necessarily. You are a mix of your fathers and your mothers side.
Keep an eye out for it though.

Answer 2

This excerpt is taken from the web site below

Hereditary factors: Although MS is not hereditary, there are hereditary risk factors. If one of your parents, a brother or sister has MS, your risk of developing the disease is about ten times greater than average for your community. In the Pacific Northwest, the risk of developing MS for first-order relatives (parent, child, brother or sister) of a person with MS is one or two chances out of 100, whereas in the general population the risk of developing MS is about one chance out of 1,000.

Answer 3

The only way to know is to have genetic testing done to look to see what risk factor you are at, and it is very, very expensive. Even then there are still odds you won't get it.

Answer 4

not necessarily. it is more common in women than men. If worried talk to your mothers/aunts doctor or to your own doctor.

Answer 5

It's not contagious and you can't inherit it, but you can inherit the ability to get it (if that makes sense) you are more likely to get it than someone without a family history....but it does not mean that you will definatly

Answer 6

I dont think so, but go to a healthwebsite to be sure if its genetic or not

Answer 7

I have MS, it has nothing to do with your genetics, nor is it transferrable. You should be fine.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Only God knows

Answer 10

sometimes things skip generations...so fingers crossed you don't.
