Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and is characterised by areas of demyelination, or plaques in the CNS. The disease is twice as prevalent in women as compared to men and causes considerable disability over time and continues for the lifetime of the subject. Subjects with MS are thought to have a genetic predisposition for the disease, though environmental factors such as geographic location and possibly viral infection also play an important role in the process of development of the disease.
OBJECTIVES
