ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20263) DecodeME answered two broad questions: - Is ME/CFS genetic? Does it have a genetic predisposition? The answer is yes. - What physiological system is most affected? Turns out it's the nervous system. 2122
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20264) The question for SequenceME is: Are there genes that are commonly broken in people with ME/CFS that increase the risk of the disease? Answering this question will provide stronger evidence that may help to identify different types of ME/CFS and targeted treatments. 1100
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20265) It's an expensive technology, so they're doing it in phases. Phase I was setting up the project; Phase II plans to analyse 6000 ME/CFS samples from DecodeME. The government money was only on consumables, not on people. Luckily, the WE&ME Foundation gave funding for this. 1110
