Abstract
A promising new avenue of MS research that may lead to a better understanding of pathogenesis, progression and therapeutic response, and to development of new therapies, comes from the recent identification of defined immune cell populations that are highly heritable. Such stable populations have been identified in three recent papers using extensive flow cytometric panels to investigate twin and family cohorts. They showed that while most of the variation in immune cell populations between individuals was not heritable, some was. This heritability was sometimes very high, and the authors concluded that it likely contributes to variability in response among individuals for disease and drug response traits.
