Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 No, never heard of it. But I'd do it if approached. ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- USCSF study I got a phone call yesterday from USCSF about a study. They are sending me a kit to have my blood drawn at my local lab, then the lab will mail it back to them. The woman I talked to said they are taking 3,000 samples at USCSF and then collecting additional samples from around the country. She said their goal is 10,000 blood samples from MSers. She said the goal is to identify the genes for MS. She also mentioned they think MS is genetic and environmental.Is anyone else doing this?
