Thanks for commenting. Are you suggesting 25% is insignificant, or simply insufficient to claim causation? What threshold would be meaningful in your opinion?

What threshold would be meaningful in your opinion?
To clarify, the researchers believe 25% is a conservative estimate.
- Khelavaster 4y agoInsufficient to claim causation. If it isn't detectable in 75% of MS patients, it's probably not the cause of MS..
- zosima 4y agoI disagree: 1. All cases of MS does not have to be caused by similar antibodies. 2. MS usually progresses through attacks. Antibody may only be present when an MS attack occurs.
- Khelavaster 4y ago1. The mechanism of MS, including antibodies, isn't quite the same as the "cause". 2. "Memory" antibodies need to be present to keep immunity.
