A research team from the UK is gathering information on the topic of epigenetics (factors that affect the translation of genes into proteins). They are trying to obtain the birth months of people with MS, their parents and their grandparents, and need to get as many participants as possible in order for the results to be meaningful. They have designed a web-based survey that should take less than 5 minutes to complete.

If you have MS and are interested in helping out with this study, please click here for the survey. It is important that you have the birth dates of your parents (and if possible, grandparents) at hand before you start the survey.
