Ever taken or currently taking an anti-TNF agent such as Humira, Remicade, Enbrel, Cimzia or Simponi? A rare side effect of anti-TNF Therapy is the development of multiple sclerosis (MS)-like symptoms. These side effects may be the result of pre-existing genetic/environmental susceptibility in affected patients. The GEMS research study aims to identify what may increase the occurrence of these side effects. E-mail for more info about participation in our nationwide study
Asked by Alina Von Korff genetics AS Symptoms research
I was wondering if anyone actually knows the stats on AS being passed along to your children? My husband has AS & he wants us to have a child. I see the pain he is in everyday. I couldn't imagine my child suffering the same fate. Any help would be appreciated.
Asked by Vanessa Balcome-Butland genetics hereditary children
How many people can track AS back in their family tree, and from where? I have been looking. Found a letter from 1932 where it was called curve disease. It was a woman who had it who was already deformed evidently in her child bearing years.

Accepted Study supports my theory - ABO RhD Incompatibility & Health Issues Proof is starting to rear it's head! OUTCOME OF STUDY - A hypothesis was advanced to the effect that the mother-child incompatibility for Rhesus and ABO antigens may result not only in fetal wastage and haemolytic disease of newborns, but also in the decrease of child's resistance to diseases of different origin.
