BRRF1

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

BRRF1 encodes the transcription factor for Na, which is may have a role in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)replication.[1][2][3]

Function[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Ariza (2021) published a hypothesis | last4 showing a role for BRRF1 and BLLF3 in the immune dysfunction found in ME/CFS.
