Researchers identified eight specific DNA regions tied to immune-system abnormalities and disruptions in the nervous system, revealing the first clear biological fingerprints of the disease. • The study analyzed genetic data from tens of thousands of patients and healthy c

Individuals affected by ME/CFS experience extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest, along with disrupted sleep and difficulties with memory or concentration.
