Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Patricia Manrique cmanrique@med.miami.edu 305-243-4028 Summary: Investigators are actively recruiting people who self-identify as Hispanic or Latinx who have been diagnosed with MS to participate in a study examining the impact of genetics, environment, and social-cultural factors on disease severity. The study sites include the University of Southern California, University of Miami, the University of California, San Francisco, the Caribbean Neurological Center in Puerto Rico and the University of Connecticut which together form the Alliance for Research in Hispanic MS (ARHMS). The Alliance for Research in Hispanic MS (ARHMS) was formed to accelerate our understanding of this population epidemiologically and investigate its genetic contributions to disease and MS-related progression. The researchers will assess whether Asian, Native American, European or African genetic markers in the DNA influence disease severityRationale: People of Hispanic/Latin descent in the U.S. are diverse in culture and genetic background and are more likely to develop MS at a younger age and have greater disability compared to white people. Finding socio-cultural, environmental, or genetic factors that affect MS in this population is important, since some of these factors are modifiable.How to get involved: Participants will have to visit one of the study sites. Participation involves answering questionnaires about environmental, sociocultural factors, clinical history about their condition, and providing a blood sample that will be analyzed for genetic markers, including ancestry.

" c-nmssatomrichtext_nmssatomrichtext-host="">About Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Currently there is no cure. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include disabling fatigue, mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and vision issues. An estimated 1 million people live with MS in the United States. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimize disability. Significant progress is being made to achieve a world free of MS. About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society The National MS Society, founded in 1946, is the global leader of a growing movement dedicated to creating a world free of MS. The Society funds cutting-edge research for a cure, drives change through advocacy and provides programs and services to help people affected by MS live their best lives.
