    Genetics: BTN2A2 and BTN3A3

    Understood. I certainly didn't think this gene was a definite slam dunk, just something that maybe strengthened the argument for JEs hypothesis. I hadn't realised that the IFNG/CD8 T CellI element was just from that one mouse model paper though. It would be interesting if we could come up with...

    Open Norway: Plasma cell aimed treatment with daratumumab in ME/CFS (ResetME) - Haukeland University Hospital

    So, the 22 million kroner question is: do the DecodeME results strengthen the case for using Daratumumab?

    Genetics: BTN2A2 and BTN3A3

    It has a certain appeal! It sounds like something from an old sci fi film. This does all look rather relevant to your hypothesis, unless I'm very much mistaken?

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    Iirc they are actually planning a GWAS with Lipkins lab

    Genetics: CCPG1

    Could you possibly expand on this a little? You've mentioned this idea before but I can't get my head around it.

    Criticisms of DecodeME in the media - and responses to the criticisms

    :sick::emoji_rage: They seem to have a gameplan in place. I think it will be hard to counter until these findings are built upon sadly.

    Donate to build on the work of DecodeME

    Does anyone have an opinion where the best place to donate currently is? Like through AfME or directly to Chris Ponting's lab? I understand the final pieces on finalising this study will be done by Chris and a small team on limited funding so maybe that is the best place to donate initally? Or...

    Genetics: BTN2A2 and BTN3A3

    As we discussed in the preprint thread, the fact this is downregulated and it inhibits CD8 T cells and IFNG might be relevant to JE et al's hypothesis and related theorising.

    USA: The RECOVER Initiative - Long Covid research

    Maybe i should reply on bluesky but LDN and Baricitinib are already being thoroughly trialed (although I guess LDN is being trialed in ME). GLP1 is an interesting idea I suppose, not sure what the rationale is. As for SGB, I am really skeptical, but I suppose it's better to have a trial than not...

    Criticisms of DecodeME in the media - and responses to the criticisms

    Statistically, I think it's likely some of them are.

    Strep triggered me and my partner's illnesses too.

    Wow, that's really intriguing.

    A massive thank you to the whole DecodeME team! I'm very grateful to everyone who made tonight possible. Lets hope its the start of an interesting and fruitful journey!

    I really wish they would just give it an effing rest.

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    So if the gene inhibits the proliferation of CD4+CD8 t cells activated by IFNG does that provide evidence for or againsts JE et als hypothesis? Inhibition would suggest against to me but I know little about these things.

    News From Jarred Younger / Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue Laboratory at UAB, From Aug 2020

    Any statement by researchers which contributes to the phenomena of patients confidently stating unproven hypotheses as fact, further delegitmising them in the eyes of medics, is deeply irresponsible imo.

    I think the rest of the community would have had a thing or two to say about that...:joy:
