Genetic factors, environmental factors, and others play a role in its development and progress. Some common causes include:

• Genetic Factors: A family history of Multiple Sclerosis and specific genes have been associated with an increased risk of Multiple Sclerosis 
• Immune System Dysfunction: white blood cells, known as T cells, mistakenly attack the myelin sheath of nerve cells in the central nervous system, disrupting nerve signals.
• Environmental Triggers: viral infections (Epstein-Barr virus), vitamin D deficiency, and exposure to certain chemicals and toxins. 
• Geographical Distribution: People in geographical areas, particularly those farther from the equator, have low sunlight exposure, low vitamin D levels, and viral infections.
• Smoking increases the risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis and more severe disease progression in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis.
• Hormonal Factors: Multiple Sclerosis is more common in women than men, suggesting that hormonal factors such as changes in hormone levels, especially during pregnancy, can affect the immune system and may influence the course of the disease.
