The role of heredity of lung cancer does enhance the threat to a certain extent, however, lung cancer is more possible to be associated with a genetic predisposition in women, in young adults, and in lung cancer in non-smokers.

Smokers who are prone to lung cancer are less likely to exhibit a family history in comparison to the non-smoker who form lung cancer. However, in case, if anyone is exhibiting a genetic predisposition to lung cancer, then smoking seems to exaggerate that threat.

the symptoms of ____ are caused by progressive demyelination of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. multiple sclerosis

nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is multiple sclerosis.

The MS or multiple sclerosis refers to a demyelinating disorder in which the insulating envelopes of the nervous tissues in the spinal cord and the brain get destructed.

This destruction disturbs the tendency of the components of the nervous system to interact, leading to an array of symptoms and signs, involving mental, physical, and on certain occasions psychiatric issues.
