Quote from another thread, but thought it'd be good to post this response here.
I put the top 115 genes into STRING to see the connections between proteins. HLA-C only has evidence linking it to one other protein with medium confidence, PSMB5. The same graph in interactive form can be seen...
The search engine AIs are very bad with hallucinations, much worse than the stand-alone chatbots. I wouldn't ever trust the Google Search AI without checking its sources. I mean that's good practice with any AI, but I feel like with the search AIs it's basically a coin flip whether it just makes...
That's kind of surprising. Are you sure you don't have any kind of custom instructions referring to ME/CFS that could influence it to answer in this way?
This looks very similar to another recent study that was on PVFS:
Causal relationship between immune cells and post-viral fatigue syndrome: a Mendelian randomization study, 2025, Wang et al
They both used the same 731 immune traits from a separate GWAS, although this thread's study also looked...
Changes in blood metabolic profile during repeated cardiopulmonary exercise testing (2xCPET) in ME/CFS patients

ME/CFS is characterized by post-exertional malaise (PEM) and delayed...
The proteins enriched in the neutrophil pathway at baseline were PSMA5, RAP1A, KPNB1, TXNDC5, RAB7A and at 15 minutes post-exercise were ERP44, RAP1A, GSTP1, DSG1, TXNDC5. All lower in ME/CFS EVs.
Neutrophils were a hot topic in the study from a few days ago:

Ah yeah, YouTube guessed meltsey and Claude guessed that meltsey meant ME/CFS from context. I tried another method of getting the auto-generated Norwegian subtitles and asking Claude to do the translation as well. I was adamant that it should not change content and to put anything it wasn't sure...
I used this website to get those auto-translated subtitles, then I asked Claude Sonnet 4 to format it nicely and fix any typos without changing the content:
Edit: Better translation below.
HLA-C has the 39th highest fold change out of the 7326 aptamers they tested (logFC = 0.35). Not significant though (p=.19, q=.45).
Here are all the ones they tested that mentioned HLA:
Edit: Mistyped the q-value.

Maybe it'd be good to do a study that gives people a list of many diseases, including ME/CFS and long COVID, and asks if they have heard of each one. Maybe binary response or maybe multiple choice like "Never heard of it", "I've heard the name but don't know what it is", and "I know what it is"...
