Nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1

NR3C1 or nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 glucocorticoid receptor is a gene that may be associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome.

ME/CFS
Goertzel et al. (2006) concluded: "Three genes were found to be common in a group of people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome compared to the general population; TPH2 - neuronal tryptophan hydroxylase, COMT - catechol-O-methyltransferase, and NR3C1 - nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 glucocorticoid receptor, together these three have an accuracy of 76%."
