Comparing epidemiology and baseline characteristic of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica: A case-control study

The results of this study reveal that the risk of MS is significantly higher in female and younger people in comparison to NMO. Having positive family history of MS can increase the risk of MS substantially. The findings of the study indicated that factors that predict susceptibility to MS, including a positive history of MS in relatives, do not appear to have any association with NMO.
