Did Lena horne have ms?

Although many websites report that Ms. Horne had MS, this belief has not been substantiated by any of her surviving family members. I'm not sure how the belief even came to be as none of her biographies mention her having the disease. Ms. Horne was a strong, proud woman and not one who would have hid the fact that she had the disease (if she did have it).


Can MS be passed through your parents?

MS is not considered a hereditary disease, so it is not directly inherited through your parents. However, many genetic factors have been identified that increase the risk of the disease. This means that you may inherit genetics from your parents which increase the risk - but do not automatically mean you will have MS.
