Parental Transmission of MS in a Population-Based Canadian Cohort
Neurol 69:1208-1212,1202, Herrera,B.M.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We observed equal disease transmission to offspring from affected mothers and affected fathers, no difference in the female:male sex ratio of affected offspring, and previously no difference in sibling recurrence risk by gender of parent affected. These findings show no evidence for the Carter effect and do not support the hypothesis of polygenic inheritance of multiple sclerosis susceptibility by parent.
