Genetics of chronic fatigue syndrome

Notable Studies

 * 2016, Genome-wide association analysis identifies genetic variations in subjects with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (Schlauch KA, Khaiboullina SF, Kenny De Meirleir, Rawat S, Petereit J, Rizvanov AA, Blatt N, Mijatovic T, Kulick D, Palotás A, Vince Lombardi). The study was criticised by George Davey Smith who said "surprised it was published with no replication sample or adequate details of controls".
 * 2016, Mitochondrial DNA variants correlate with symptoms in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (Maureen Hanson, January 20). See also Mitochondrial DNA and ME/CFS - A Guide to the Hanson Lab's 2016 JTM Publication.
