Description
Mehdi Mohammadifar and colleagues pooled earlier studies in two thousand twenty-six to ask whether diabetes in a mother during pregnancy raises multiple sclerosis risk in her children. Multiple sclerosis has both inherited and environmental roots, and womb conditions have been suspected. Only a handful of studies met their strict rules.
Across studies from Denmark, Norway, and the United States, one pooling method suggested a modest raised risk, while a more cautious method did not confirm it. Results were mixed enough that the link stays unproven. Expectant families and neurologists get an honest summary: the signal is weak and needs stronger research before any conclusions are drawn.
