Purpose of Study
The purpose of the main study is to investigate adverse drug reactions from multiple sclerosis (MS) disease modifying drugs by understanding the genetic factors that contribute to their cause.
The sub-study investigates how the MS disease modifying drugs affect microbes in the gut and how human DNA affects the changes in the gut microbes following drug treatment. We are also interested in how gut microbes might relate to progressive MS.
Eligibility
For both studies, all participants must have definite MS (i.e., have been told they have MS by a neurologist) and be at least 18 years of age. Further inclusion criteria may apply.
