News: New study confirms earlier research that gene expression is a way to test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CDC's earlier finding) News: Research: Spinal Fluid Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I would love to thank Chris Caulder personally for this great website!

Guest CyberPixie Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 It was on my local news last 2 nights, they have found the cause for CFS. Bascially 16 faulty genes set off by a virus. They all regulate the immune system, 1 is underactive 15 are overactive.It's Dr Jonathon Kerr (in London UK) who is the main man for the research. They have developed a blood test to diagnose CFS which should be available in a year. They are also trialling a drug already used for other illnesses (but they dont say which one) and this cure should be ready in a year.

ramakentesh Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Interesting - especially when you consider that the Baker Institute in Melbourne think that POTS may be caused by the hypermethylation of the Norepineprine tranposter gene. This may have also been caused by a viral infection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Gosh a test for CFS! I am excited and scared ... what happnes if that comes up negative TOO?! I always get so excited that they may find the cause and then i can know what to treat. I am sure i dont have to explain to all of you It just sounds really nutty to most people. Thanks so much for posting that up briarrose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
