Answers:
Although it's not clear-cut, there does appear to be an increased risk that MS can be passed on genetically!.
Take a look at the following page, and if you're still concerned ask if your GP (doctor) can refer you on for genetic counselling [counseling, if you're American]!.
I wish your boyfriend, and his father, the very best of luck in determining whether he may be at risk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Heredity!. Multiple sclerosis is more common in people of Northern European descent!. There also appears to be a genetic component to the condition, although it's not strictly inherited!. Researchers suspect that the tendency to develop MS is inherited, but the disease manifests itself only when environmental triggers are present!.

I was reading about MS recently and found a link with solvent exposure in the workplace and sweetners such as Aspartanes that degrade into formaldehydes in the body!.
I thought it was particularly interesting that avoiding these substances stopped the progression of the disease, but unfortunately doesn't revert changes!. I cannot find the link I'm afraid but interesting none the less!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no evidence that it is genetic, however it is more common among people who have a family member with MS!.
Last time I read anything on it, the thinking was that that increased risk was due to exposure to similar conditions and potential risk factors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
