3. These are expected clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis.

The client newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) states, "I don't

understand how I got multiple sclerosis. Is it genetic?" On which statement

should the nurse base the response?



1. Genetics may play a role in susceptibility to MS, but the disease may be

caused by a virus.

2. There is no evidence suggesting there is any chromosomal involvement

in developing MS.

3. Multiple sclerosis is caused by a recessive gene, so both parents had to

have the gene for the client to get MS.

4. Multiple sclerosis is caused by an autosomal dominant gene on the Y

chromosome,so only fathers can pass it on. - ✔✔1.The exact cause of MS

is not known,but there is a theory stating a slow virus is partially

responsible. A failure of apart of the immune system may also beat fault. A

genetic predisposition involving chromosomes 2, 3, 7, 11, 17, 19, and X

may be involved.
