Researchers discover genes related to "chronic fatigue syndrome"
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh said on Wednesday that they discovered differences in DNA from people suffering from ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’, which will help help this condition be psychological or due to laziness. The study found that 8 areas of genetic code differ in people with encephalitis and muscle marrow, known as chronic fatigue syndrome, of healthy volunteers. The researchers said in a statement that this discovery “provides the first strong proof that the genes contribute to the opportunity to develop the disease.” The most important features of the matter include exacerbation of fatigue, pain and brain confusion to a simple physical or mental activity. There is only very little about the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome, and there is no diagnostic test or treatment for it. The researchers believe that this condition affects about 67 million people around the world. The study analyzed the DNA samples of 15,579 people who reported their syndrome in a questionnaire, and 259 thousand and 909 people did not suffer from this condition, all of European origin. Change the rules of the game? The study, which was not yet subject to the vision of the peers, reported that the most common genetic variables in people who allegedly have chronic fatigue syndrome are linked to the immune and nervous systems. The researchers pointed out that at least two areas of genetic genetics are related to how the body responds to infection, which corresponds to reports that symptoms often begin after an infectious disease. Researchers have previously identified another genetic area in people with chronic pain, which is another common symptom. Researcher Andy Davirx Cook said in a statement that the results “are in line with the experiences that patients have been reported for decades,” added: “It must be proven to change the rules of the game in the field of chronic fatigue research.” “These results will not mean that it can develop a test or treatment immediately, but it will lead to a greater understanding,” he said. Scientists who did not participate in the study said that the use of volunteers reported that they had chronic fatigue syndrome instead of limiting participation in those who have a diagnosis of a somewhat weaker medical specialist, and that they asked larger studies to confirm the results. “It will be necessary to do a good job” to translate these results into new treatments. It will require a major investment in academic circles and industries. ‘
