Multiple Sclerosis. Will It Be Passed On Children As Well?

MY DAUGHTER MAY GETTING INVOLED WITH A YOUNG MAN WITH MS. HE SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO START A FAMILY. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THIER CHILDREN BING BORN WITH MS? I'VE BEEN READING ON MS THERE IS SO MUCH ON IT. I WANT TO SIT AND TALK OVER ALL FUTURE PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR WITH THIS YOUNG MAN. IF MS CAN BE PASSED DOWN TO A CHILD THEY BOTH NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS.

hello madam, i want you to rest your worries about MS. there is no risk of inheriting the disease from parents, rather children acquire the risk from where they settle. thanks
