- indymike 4y agoMS is more common the further from the equator you are. That applies to Northwestern Europeans. This does not apply to descendants who move closer to the equator. In short, the link between ethnicity and MS is not well understood at all. The only genetic factor that seems to be well understood is that MS is more than 2x more common in women than men.
