When diseases cause tissue damage DNA fragments are released into the bloodstream. When a disease primarily causes damage to a specific organ or cell (pancreatic cancer, pancreatic beta cells in diabetes, brain oligodendrocytes in MS or glial/neuronal death in traumatic brain injury) it may be possible to identify the 'unique signature' from a simple blood test.
It would be nice to apply this technology to ME/CFS although I suspect you would need to have a fair idea where where you should be looking :
