I have a low allele frequency mutation in the gene for the first step in the synthesis of plasmalogens. It could be a coincidence but it's also...
It seems that lipid accumulation or abnormalities that suggest lipid accumulation might be occurring keep coming up in various studies. A patient...

My summary In CFS subjects, phenylephrine reduces the decrease in cerebral blood flow that occurs during head up tilt testing. This had a positive...
Did you know that we all have a huge amount of genetic mutations? In some of my genes I have hundreds of mutations, in others just five or so. The...
Small update: The fatty acid oxidation mutation found is in the gene corresponding to the disease "medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase...
Generally speaking, having a mutation that is expected to cause disease does not mean that it will necessarily do so. I've read about this...
Some patient advocates are just incompetent. This also seems to be tied to the belief that ME/CFS is a continued infection by one specific virus....
