DNA analyses of more than 15,500 affected individuals identify eight preliminary genetic signals. This shows more and more clearly that the disease has no psychological origin.
DecodeME: X marks the spot where ME/CFS biology can be discovered
Scientists, people with ME/CFS, and their charities came together to create DecodeME, the world’s biggest ME/CFS study – and its results are striking. 18,000 people with ME/CFS gave their DNA, enabling DecodeME to reveal eight genetic signals for the illness. These signals indicate that immune and neurological processes play a significant role in ME/CFS. I wrote this blog for DecodeME and repost it here under a CC-BY licence. Why a DNA study? A …
Edinburgh – A genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified genetic variants in eight genes that occur more frequently in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) than in other people, offering possible explanations for an organic cause of the disease, which often occurs after infections and is...
A study at the University of Edinburgh identified eight genetic regions linked to chronic fatigue syndrome, debilitating disease q
