Ancient Skeletons Give Clues to Modern Medical Mysteries

Researchers have found a possible genetic link between a lost nomadic tribe and multiple sclerosis, suggesting that immune system sensitivity may be a factor in the disease.
A larger effort is underway to understand how genetic roots from ancient peoples are linked to modern illnesses like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and schizophrenia.

Ancient steppe herders brought higher risk of MS to northern Europe

Northern Europeans have a higher risk of multiple sclerosis due to genetic variants brought by ancient horseback-riding cattle herders
The gene variants that increase the risk of multiple sclerosis probably also protected the herders from infections

Origin of Multiple Sclerosis And These Common Diseases Lies in Ancient DNA

The Yamnaya migration 5,000 years ago introduced genes conferring risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) into Europe.
Genes impacting nutritional health and disease risks like Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease can be traced back to ancient populations in Europe.
