Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Linked to Three Genes
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Linked to Three Genes - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today: "ATLANTA, April 20 - Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been linked to five mutations in three genes that are related to the body's ability to handle stress.
'For the first time ever, we have documented that people with CFS have (variations in) certain genes that are related to those parts of brain activity that mediate the stress response,' said William Reeves, M.D., director of CFS research at the CDC here.
Also, people with the syndrome have differences in genetic activity levels that affect the way they respond to stress accumulated over a lifetime, Dr. Reeves said in a media telebriefing to announce 14 research papers arising from a CDC study in Wichita, Kan. /.../"
