Multiple Sclerosis Trials Collaboration
The Multiple Sclerosis Trials Collaboration (MSTC) aims to help people with MS access research studies to get closer to a cure.
We are supporting MSTC’s work to determine the origins of MS and try and identify MS at its very earliest stages.
The charity has developed the LiON study to investigate the family risk of MS by recruiting first and second-degree relatives of people living with MS. The overall goal of the study is to provide insight into the very early features of MS that might be occurring before the onset of visible symptoms.
This could enable earlier identification of the condition, shed some light on the genetic & environmental factors that are contributing to MS and provide earlier intervention and tailored treatment approaches.
