Abstract

<h3>Background</h3> The Prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis varies according to the geographical location and certain ethnic group. Genetic susceptibility to MS has also been linked to allelic variation It has been suggested that Viking genes’ can make people more susceptible to MS. Given the northern latitude and genetic background of the indigenous population, one might expect the higher prevalence of Multiple sclerosis. Cumbria Neurology Service: The Cumbria Neurology service has established in 2011, which used a single electronic patient record which has linked to the general practice. It is based within a community trust; and which is a single consultant-led service. <h3>Objective</h3> To study the prevalence of familial multiple sclerosis in Cumbria Region. <h3>Results</h3> Our estimated prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis is higher than a McKenzie et’s report. However, the data for the familial Multiple Sclerosis is lower than those of the global data (the data collecting is still ongoing). maythaenwe@gmail.com
