Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that damages the central nervous system (CNS) and disrupts communication to and from the brain by attacking the myelin sheath surrounding neurons. It impairs control of bodily functions and leads to clinical disability as the disease progresses. The worldwide population is estimated at 2.5 million. MS typically develops in young adults; primarily women in their early 30s. The etiology of MS is not fully understood, but it is noted that the prevalence of MS differs with geography and ethnicity.
