Systematic review of post-COVID condition in Nordic population-based registry studies Jan Peter William Himmels, Karin Magnusson, Kjetil Gundro Brurberg [Line breaks added] Abstract The long-term effects of COVID-19, known as post-COVID condition (PCC), are still not fully understood. This...

Much appreciated, thanks @jnmaciuch.

Any chance you can explain the difference in the three columns and why they're not the same? (RNAseq, SAGE, and microarray)

Another good starting point is the ME/CFS paper you get a gene from in the first place. The authors are likely to have done at least a scan of the literature to see how the significant genes might fit into the explanation for ME/CFS. So they did a bit of the work for you, and you can check if...

I'm learning just like you. But I think just read about it and then read about it and then read about it some more and then read about things related to it and hope a connection comes to you that might just possibly make sense in the context of ME/CFS. I don't know how useful GTEx is. I just...

Just finished reading this, and wanted to express that it's clear from this text that we're very lucky to have Chris Ponting at the helm of DecodeME. (Not that it wasn't clear for a variety of other reasons.) Thanks to all the authors here for doing the work to make sure the statistics get done...

Ok, I wasn't positive if the OR is always based on the minor allele frequency, but that's probably right. I got the same. Edit: So I think that means the gene expression database is saying that if ME/CFS has the T allele less often, expression of CCK would be higher in cultured fibroblasts and...

Good thought, I'll send a quick email to him.

So the only significant finding in terms of genetic mutations was a SNP which affects the expression of CCK (aka cholecystokinin). The database they used seems to say that this SNP decreases expression of CCK in cultured fibroblasts but increases expression in colon cells. I couldn't figure out...
