Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which an abnormal response of the body’s immune system is directed against the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). The immune system of the body mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, the protective coating around the nerves. The cause of MS is still not known; it is believed that several different factors may be involved. Mainly immune-mediated, but genetic and some environmental factors have a role.
