Exciting news from our affiliated company @precisionlife.bsky.social!
New myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, also known as ME/CFS) genetics study reveals 250+ core genes, shared mechanisms with long COVID, and dozens of drug repurposing opportunities. This would not have been possible without the thousands of people with ME who contributed their data.
Thank you.
Thank you.
