I tried reading the paper, and can't understand most of it. But I think the main idea is this: they're not looking for SNPs that cause these conditions. They're looking for SNPs that cause increased variation in getting the condition (in other words, SNPs that increase the influence of...

Agree with other posters - very well written and thorough. I wonder if the diagnostic criteria might be a factor. CCC in Fluge et al, but CCC and/or IOM here, so maybe the factor in the blood wasn't necessarily related to ME/CFS, but was related to a comorbidity required by CCC but not by IOM.

Here's an association, but this specifically is only describing healthy controls. It's a positive correlation between Vitality (SF-36) and IGHV3-23/IGHV3-30. r=0.527, q=0.039. The more they have the healthier they are, so opposite direction of the association between controls and ME/CFS in the...

Wow I just put together that chillier is the one of the people from your 'something in the blood' post. The username makes sense now, I thought they were just cold. Someone asked if she falsified the nanoneedle study. She said it's hard to compare her result to Ron Davis's, but that Fatima...
