Around 5,000 years ago, at the dawn of the Bronze Age, a mass migration of peoples from the grasslands of the Eurasian steppe poured into Europe. Called the Yamnaya, these horse herders introduced ...

Researchers compared DNA from hundreds of ancient teeth and bones to DNA from modern humans. They wanted to find out how genes linked to diseases like multiple sclerosis originated and spread. They ...

Genes newly linked to an increased risk of multiple sclerosis have bolstered understanding of the incurable nerve disorder and may lead to added treatments, researchers said. A screen of the human ...

This is the first study to suggest that certain genes may influence disease severity in those with MS. The researchers evaluated the health data of over 22,000 people with MS to conduct a genome-wide ...

A study of more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has for the first time identified a genetic variant associated with faster progression of the disease, an accumulation of disability ...

Both genes and environment seem to play a role in the disease. Aug. 13, 2013— -- intro: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is pretty quirky as far as diseases go. Some of the nuances surrounding who gets it ...

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) including more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has uncovered the first genetic variant associated with faster progression of the autoimmune ...

In all, the researchers compared the genomes of 1,750 ancient people with those of around 410,000 people who contributed data to a large repository called the U.K. Biobank. All the modern individuals ...

Researchers have created the world's largest ancient human gene bank by analyzing the bones and teeth of almost 5,000 humans who lived across Western Europe and Asia up to 34,000 years ago. By ...
