== Patient criteria == DecodeME planned to recruit 20,000 ME/CFS patients, initially from the UK, for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Recruitment was planned to begin in 2021, but then delayed until 2022. Patients were encouraged to give their contact details in advance, including before the study received funding or ethics approval.<ref name="faq" /> Multiple selection criteria will be used to decide which patients to enrol in the study; patients must meet either the [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]] for ME/CFS, or the broader [[Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease|Systemic exertion intolerance disease]] criteria.<ref name="faq">{{Cite web | url = https://www.decodeme.org.uk/faqs/ | title = Frequently Asked Questions | last = DecodeME|website=DecodeME|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-06-23}}</ref> Other criteria include that patients will need to be adults aged at least 16, and will need to have [[post-exertional malaise]]. Patients who ''only'' meet the former UK [[NICE guidelines|NICE diagnostic criteria]] (2007-2021), the [[Oxford criteria]] (which has been recommended for retirement), or the [[Fukuda criteria]], and people who have [[idiopathic chronic fatigue]] will not be included.<ref name="website" /><ref name="faq" /> People who have previously recovered will also not be included.<ref name="faq" />
