Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Researchers have identified 259 genes associated with chronic fatigue syndrome, or myalgic encephalomyelitis, in the largest genetic analysis to date. This finding multiplies the number of implicated genes by six compared to a study just four months earlier. The work suggests potential paths for new treatments by targeting genetic factors.

Scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford BioDynamics say a blood test using 3D genomics identified myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) with 96% accuracy in a small, retrospective study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine. The team adds the approach may also inform diagnosis of some long Covid cases, though further validation is needed.
