I was wondering whether any bright bods/knowledgeable people could explain in very simple terms how genes indicate illness etc, as I don't understand it all. The quote below was written in one of Cort's excellent front line articles and it's a good example of what I'm trying to understand:
Do we all have the innate immune system gene but it's when there are mutations in a gene that indicate a possible area of weakness/illness? So the study mentioned above indicated mutations in the innate immune system in those with heptatiis and CFS?
Many thanks in advance
A study published just last week suggested an innate immune system gene highlighted in CFS may cause severe fatigue in hepatitis patients.
