Letter: Not hereditary
Sir: Your obituary of Ronnie Lane (6 June) said he was expecting to die from multiple sclerosis, as his mother had also suffered from MS. The MS Society and many MS experts stress that there is no proof that MS is hereditary. I hope this will comfort other descendants of MS sufferers.
