ME/CFS is estimated to affect more than 250,000 people in the UK, of all ages and from all social and economic backgrounds.
Its key feature, called post-exertional malaise, is a delayed dramatic worsening of symptoms following minor physical effort.
Two-thirds of women, and slightly more than half of men, reported at least one active co-occurring condition.A condition was considered active if the participant had experienced symptoms in the preceding six months. Experts identified that being a woman and having ME/CFS for more than 10 years are risk factors for severe illness, with symptoms increasing in intensity as they age.
“Our hope is that DecodeME’s genetic results will shed light on why certain groups are more susceptible to ME/CFS than others.”
