Description |
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system disease that occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin, which is a protective covering around the nerves. The nerves may then suffer permanent damage. The cause of the abnormal immune system action is unknown, but there seems to be some genetic link. The most common form of MS is relapsing-remitting which occurs when a patient has symptom-free periods, but the patient may develop a progressive form where the symptoms worsen over time. Women are affected twice as often as men. MS varies in severity, with some people losing the ability to walk.
Evidence of autoimmunity: Antibody ICD-10 Code: G35     SNOMED Code: 24700007

Data Source: Graphs on this page represent data in electronic health records and self-reported survey results from the All of Us research database. As of July 2024, there are 451,000 sets of electronic health records and over 560,000 participants who have completed initial survey questions. This dataset, however, may not be representative of the US population. A snapshot of the data can be found
here. To protect participant anonymity, results derived from fewer than 20 participants are not graphed.

* Disease is suspected as autoimmune, but unconfirmed. Data Source: Graphs on this page represent data in electronic health records from the All of Us research database. As of July 2024, there are 451,000 sets of electronic health records collected from participants. In the United States, because electronic health records use billing codes for diagnoses, some conditions may not be perfectly captured by these data, especially if the condition is rare.
