Complex segregation analysis of Parkinson's disease: The Mayo Clinic Family Study.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Low vitamin D status at birth may be associated with risk of adult onset multiple sclerosis, but this link has not been studied directly. We assessed the relation between neonatal vitamin D concentrations, measured in stored blood samples, and risk of multiple sclerosis. METHODS:This was a population-based c...
