Environmental and Genetic Risk Factors for Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis

The primary objective of this study is to determine if risk factors identified for adult MS such as HLA-DRB1*1501/1503, EBV, 25(OH) vitamin D3 insufficiency, and exposure to cigarette smoking are also risk factors for pediatric MS, and if there are interactions between them analyzing data collected from questionnaires for environmental exposure, demographic and food frequency as well as sample blood specimens.
