MS is one of the major causes of disability in adults under age 65. Women are affected more than men. The disorder most commonly begins during ages 20 to 40 and has a higher incidence in northern Europe, the northern United States, southern Australia and New Zealand. This discovery may hold the key to developing treatments that can lessen the severity of symptoms without mind-altering, or psychoactive, side effects. Earnest is published by the College of Engineering and Science at Clemson University for the alumni and friends of the College.
